Antoine Pesne, Jean Mariette, 1723, oil on canvas. Musée Carnavalet, Paris. Jean Mariette (; 22 June 1660 – 19 September 1742) was a French engraver and print dealer and publisher. He was the father of Pierre-Jean Mariette.

Ancestry and early life Jean Mariette was born in Paris, the son of Pierre II Mariette (1634–1716) and grandson of Pierre I Mariette (1596–1657), both wealthy print publishers.

According to the architectural historian Emil Kaufmann, the majority of these prints were designed and engraved by Jacques-François Blondel (who published his own Architecture françoise in 1752–1756), although other engravers, including Pierre Lepautre, , and Claude Lucas, and other designers, such as Delamonce, J. M. Chevotet, P. C. Prevostel, and Pineau, were also involved. A fourth volume, published the same year under the same title, was a reedition of the Grand Marot, and a fifth volume in a larger format was published in 1738.
