Johann Sigmund Deybel von Hammerau
life
Johann Sigismund Deybel von Hammerau (Polish: Jan Zygmunt Deybel von Hammerau, born 1685-1690 in Saxony; died 1752), was a Saxon architect of the Rococo, who especially worked in Poland (since 1719). Deybel was Major of the Polish artillery. His son Christian Gottfried Deybel de Hammerau (1725-1798) was General of the Polish Army.
Since 1721 Deybel worked in the Warsaw Office of Royal Buildings, from 1725 as court architect of King Augustus the Strong. As an officer of the horse artillery, he was appointed captain in 1736, promoted to Major in 1746.
His buildings show a clear influence of French architecture, presumably based on the engravings of Pierre-Jean Mariette from the band L'architecture française (3 vol., 1727-1737).
