Berain, Jean, the Elder

(born Oct. 28, 1637, Saint-Mihiel, Fr.—died Jan. 24, 1711, Paris) French decorator and designer. Trained under Charles Le Brun, he was appointed chief designer to the court of Louis XIV in 1674. He was skilled in designing tapestries, accessories, furniture, costumes, and elaborate stage settings for operas and extravagant theatrical productions; these were typically filled with fantastic iconography. He satisfied the king's appetite for splendour and inspired other cabinetmakers such as André-Charles Boulle.
