A German-born French architect, Hittorff went to Paris in 1810 and studied for some years at the Académie des Beaux-Arts while working concurrently as a draughtsman for Charles Percier. One of his important discoveries was that color had been employed in ancient Greek architecture, a subject which he especially discussed in Architecture polychrome chez les Grecs (1830) and in Restitution du temple d'Empédocle à Sélinonte (1851); in accordance with the doctrines enunciated in these works he was in the habit of making color an important feature in most of his architectural designs, including the cast-iron fountains in the Place de la Concorde.
