François Cammas

Lambert-François-Thérèse Cammas (1743–1804) was a French painter, architect, and engineer.

He was instructed in the rudiments of art by his father, Guillaume Cammas, an architect who designed the façade of the Hôtel-de-Ville at Toulouse.

On his return to France he protested against the bad taste which had disfigured the majestic outlines of the noblest churches with mean and ridiculous ornaments, and made numerous designs for the restoration of almost all the religious edifices of the city of Toulouse.

His picture representing Louis XVI recalling the Parliaments exiled during the reign of Louis XV is in the Museum of his native city.
