Oppenord, Gilles-Marie (1672–1742). French architect and decorator of Flemish descent of the
Régence period, influenced by the work of
Bernini and
Borromini, he had a considerable role in the evolution of the
Rococo or
Louis Quinze style. He designed several altarpieces (e.g. at St-Germain-des-Prés (1704)), but his most influential work included interiors in Bonn, Brühl, and Falkenlust (under de
Cotte), Rhineland, and the Palais Royal (1716–20) and Hôtel Crozat (1721–30), Rue de Richelieu, Paris. From 1719 he was engaged on work at the Church of St-Sulpice, Paris, completing the building except for the west portal (which he designed, but which was eventually finished, in greatly modified form, by
Servandoni and
Chalgrin), and designing the high-altar. Three volumes of engravings (
Livre de Fragments d'Architecture, Livre de différents morceaux, and
Œuvres) based on his work were published by Gabriel Huquier (1695–1772) in 1737–51, thus making his work widely known. By 1755 devotees of
Neo-Classicism (e.g. Charles-Nicolas Cochin (1715–90)) saw him as one of those who had debauched Classical architecture. His work also informed the Rococo Revival of the 1880s.
