Emmanuel Héré de Corny (12 October 1705 – burial: 2 February 1763) was the court architect to
Stanisław Leszczyński,
Duke of Lorraine and former King of Poland at his capital of
Nancy.[1]
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;[2] the sequence is a prime example of eighteenth-century
urbanism.[3]
