Abstract

It is only within the last ten or twelve years that the unprofessional students have had any very exact accounts of Jones' work. The writings of Mr. Reginald Blomfield and Mr. Loftie, and also the drawings published by two of his disciples, Mr. Henry Tanner and Mr. Inigo Triggs, have put him in a much bolder light. The last named writers went, by way of preparation for their book, on a devout Inigo Jones pilgrimage and they visited most of the country houses made by him that still remain. Just a few fragments of his works remain. This was another result of the Civil War. According to these two men, Jones did not become the great artist he is considered today until after his second Italian journey in 1616. Although Inigo Jones was an unhappy and broken man when he died, we must try not to remember him in his decline, but as he was at his best, when he returned from his second Italian journey, filled with great dreams and aspirations.
