Inigo Jones: The Architect of Kings (Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art)

Well set out. Beautifully and informatively illustrated, just as all good architectural books should be. I look forward to studying the text.

A really useful survey of the works and the period. Good clear text and illustrations - a timely revival of interest in the great man.

This book looks at the work of Inigo Jones in a new way, interpreting it in the context of the national priorities promoted by Jones's royal patrons rather than in the normal framework of his interest in Italian antiquity. It is well written and absorbing, leading the reader through a set of related themes (processions, heraldry, law, masques) chapter-by-chapter. The book also breaks new ground in considering Jones's work in the light of the religious prejudices of his day, hardly a minor influence given the impending Civil War. A very informative read!
