There were several architects associated with the Beaux-Arts style, but some of the prominent figures include:
1. Charles Garnier: He was a French architect known for designing the Palais Garnier in Paris, which is one of the most iconic examples of Beaux-Arts architecture.
2. Richard Morris Hunt: He was an American architect who played a significant role in promoting and popularizing the Beaux-Arts style in the United States. He designed numerous important buildings, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
3. Jules Hardouin-Mansart: He was a French architect who is best known for his work on the Palace of Versailles. Although he predates the Beaux-Arts movement, his designs greatly influenced later Beaux-Arts architects.
4. Émile Jacques Ruhlmann: He was a French interior designer and furniture designer who incorporated Beaux-Arts elements into his work, particularly during the Art Deco period.
5. Cass Gilbert: He was an American architect who was heavily influenced by the Beaux-Arts style. He designed several notable buildings, including the Woolworth Building in New York City.
