![]() ![]() Jones’s interpretation brought a revolutionary discipline and decorum to English architecture. Inigo Jones (1573-1652) brought his ideas to Jacobean England, combining them with elements from other Renaissance architects, including Sebastiano Serlio (1475-1554) and Vincenzo Scamozzi (1548-1616), and contemporary French practice, thus creating a style known as Anglo-Palladianism. His architecture was based on symmetry, proportion, and his own codification of the Classical Orders. Palladio re-interpreted Roman architecture for contemporary use and published his ideas in 'I Quattro Libri dell’Architettura' (The Four Books of Architecture, 1570), which was translated and re-published across Europe. This is a Classical style, named after the Italian Renaissance architect Andrea Palladio (1508-1580) whose work and ideas had a profound influence on European architecture from the early 17th century to the present day.
