Ernest Sanson

Paul -Ernest Sanson ( born May 12, 1836 in Paris, † January 15, 1918 ) was a French architect, who was also in the field of fine arts at home.

Paul -Ernest Sanson joined with 18 in the École des Beaux -Arts in Paris and took courses at the Émile Jacques Gilbert. In 1861 he married Marie -Caroline Scelles. They had two sons, Maurice Pierre (1864-1913) and Louis Charles ( 1866-1917 ).

After Sanson had completed his architectural studies, he worked with Denis- Louis and Charles -Auguste Questel Destors and then stepped into the office of Antoine- Nicolas Bailly. In 1865, he took over the architectural firm that quickly gained a great reputation under his direction at its potential aristocratic and wealthy bourgeois clientele. Sanson employed at this time his son Maurice and the architect Victor -Guillaume Bariller and René Sergent.

Sanson's designs for elegant and modern comfort -use residential are anchored in the long tradition of French architecture, where he had a fondness for the 17th and 18th centuries. Buildings such as the Palacio Ferreyra, the Sanson has erected in 1916 in Argentina Córdoba, make the influence of the French Baroque style in Sanson's obvious.

Paul -Ernst Sanson has won several awards for his work; In 1911 he was awarded the Legion of Honour.
