JONES, iNKio (l.-)731G52). An English ar-
chitect, born in London. Of his early history
little is known till the time when the Earl of
Pembroke, attracted by his great aptitude for
drawing, sent him abroad for tour years to study
the masterpieces of architecture in France, Ger-
many, and Italy. He spent most of his time in
Venice, paying particular attention to the works
of PaHadio, whose style lie introduced into Eng-
land, whence we sometimes hear Jones designated
as the 'English Palladio.' After a visit to Den-
mark he returned to England before 1005, when
lie was employed by James I. in arranging the
sceneiy and properties for the masques of Bea
Jonson, which were at that time the chief
amusement of the Court. Jonson afterwards
satirized his fellow-laborer in Bartliolomew Fair.
In 1613 and 1014 Jones revisited Italy, still
further to inijirove his style, and on liis return
to England was ajipointed surveyor-general of the
royal buildings (1015). .Tones was at this time
accounted the first arcliitect of England, and ac-
cording to some the first of the age. T)ie state
of architecture in England during his time
was an excellent foil to his genius as the
praise bestowed upon his works shows. In
1018 he planned the Palace of Whitehall
(950X1280 feet), of which only the famous
banqueting-hall, c(msiilercd to be his masterpiece,
was carried out. Oth<'r works of liis are Lindsay
House, the Cliurch of Saint Paul, in Covent
Garden, Ashburnham House, and Surgeons' Hall,
but these are mediocre. Most of his im|)ortant
works, such as the renovations of the facade of
Old Saint Paul's, Sliaftesbury House, Pliysi-
cians' College, etc., have been destroyed. His
Designs, consisting of plans for pulilic and pri-
vate buildings, were piil>lislied by W. Kent at
I.ondcm, 1727. Consult; Ulomfield, "Inigo Jones,"
