Andrea Palladio
Villa Rotonda, near Vicenza, Italy, by Andrea Palladio, 1550â51.
Inigo Jones was responsible for introducing Palladianism to England following his travels in Italy. His designs, which drew directly from the writings of Andrea Palladio and his own study of classical architecture, are characterized by the clarity, order, and symmetry central to the style.1
Outstanding examples of Jones's work that demonstrate this Palladian influence include:
- The Queenâs House at Greenwich (completed 1635)1
- The Banqueting House at Whitehall (1619â22)1
- The Queenâs Chapel at St. James Palace (1623)1
