sewn PAPERBACK, very good. SUMMERSON, JOHN. Inigo Jones. Penguin, 1983, reprinted, 149pp., . The Architect and society. - Inigo Jones was the first English classical architect, famous In his own time (he was nine years Junior to Shakespeare) and the posthumous sponsor of the Palladianism of the eighteenth century. In this revolutionary book Sir John Summerson clears away a mass of legend in order to direct attention to the essential Inigo, basing a new assessment of his genius on the evidence of buildings and designs of undoubted authenticity. While the Queen s House at Greenwich and the famous Whitehall Banqueting House receive due acknowledgement, such long lost works as the Covent Garden piazza and the transformation of old St Paul s are shown, after rigorous examination of the records, to be even more eloquent of their architect s philosophy. Inigo Jones emerges as a unique figure in the Europe of his time and an architect of fundamental importance. The cover shows: front, the Whitehall Banqueting House (photo David Hemsoll); back, detail of a portrait drawing of Inigo Jones by Van Dyck (Courtauld Institute of Art): a Pelican Original. 9780140208399 ISBN 0140208399.
