Jean-Charles-Léon Danjoy (31 May 1806 - 4 September 1862) was a French architect who specialized in renovating historical buildings. ==Biography== Danjoy was born on 31 May 1806 in Avensac in the Gers department of southwestern France. In 1827 he was admitted to the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. There he studied in the studio of Jean-Nicolas Huyot. As a young man he struggled to make a living through the sale of architectural drawings and lithographs. In 1840 Danjoy was hired by the French Historic Monuments organization, which had been created in 1837, and was given responsibility for restoring the Château de Falaise. Other restoration projects included the church of Lisieux Cathedral, the Château de Saint-Sauveur-le-Vicomte in Manche, the Tour Pey-Berland in Bordeaux and the Collégiale de Braisne. In 1842 he won the gold prize in an open competition to design the tomb of Napoleon. He visited Spain in 1842, where he made a drawing of the Monastery of Benevívere, later published in a collection of lithographs of Spanish monuments. In 1843 Danjoy submitted a plan for restoration of Notre Dame de Paris in competition with Jean-Jacques Arveuf and with the winning team of Jean-Baptiste Lassus and Eugène Viollet-le-Duc. That year he was given responsibility for restoring Meaux Cathedral. Around 1845 he was architect of a house in Auteuil in the Gothic style. He designed the Princess Demidoff's tomb in Père Lachaise Cemetery. Danjoy was given responsibility for restoring Bordeaux Cathedral in 1847 and Metz Cathedral in 1848. In 1853 Danjoy was selected as architect for the Arc de Triomphe de l'Étoile, replacing Guillaume-Abel Blouet. In 1853 Danjoy was named architect for the diocese of Meaux, Bordeaux and Coutances. This position included maintaining or restoring all aspects of the diocese buildings including the decor, and often the furniture. He decorated the chapel of Saint-Joseph in Bordeaux Cathedral, and undertook major restoration work there. He began plans for the seminary at Coutances, but died before the work could start. Danjoy created the design for the Château Pastré in Marseille, commissioned by the shipowner and merchant Eugène Pastré (1806-1868) and his wife, Céline de Beaulincourt-Marle. Completed in 1862, the chateau is now home of the ''Musée de la Faïence de Marseille''. Danjoy died on 4 September 1862 in Paris. His son Eugène Gustave Édouard Danjoy (1838-1905) was also a successful architect. Édouard was taught by his father and by Charles Questel, then worked under Léon Vaudoyer. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jean-Charles Danjoy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
