Emmanuel Héré de Corny
Emmanuel Héré de Corny was the court architect to Stanisław Leszczyński, Duke of Lorraine and former King of Poland at his capital of Nancy.
Corny, who was born in Nancy, is famous for the harmonious suite of axial spaces he developed, extending from the Place Stanislas to the Palais du Gouvernement; the sequence is a prime example of eighteenth-century urbanism.
He died, aged 57, in Lunéville.
