About Étienne Martellange
- Étienne Martellange (22 December 1569, Lyon – 3 October 1641, Paris) was a French Jesuit architect and draftsman.
- He travelled widely in France as an architect for the Jesuit order and designed more than 25 buildings, mostly schools and their associated chapels or churches.
- His buildings reflect the Baroque style of the Counter-Reformation and include the Chapelle de la Trinité in Lyon and the church of Saint-Paul-Saint-Louis in Paris.
- In the course of his travels he made almost 200 detailed pen drawings depicting views of towns, buildings and monuments.
- These pictures have survived and provide an important historical record of French towns in the first third of the 17th century.
