This lavishly illustrated book is a full-length study of Inigo
Jones as a stage-designer. Jones's designs for the Stuart court
masques (and associated court entertainments) between 1605 and 1640
played a crucial role in transmitting the visual language of the
Italian Renaissance tradition into English culture, where, because
of geographical and historical factors, it had not yet become
acclimatized. John Peacock shows that almost all of Jones's designs
were copied and adapted from Italian and continental sources (many
identified here for the first time), and argues that this is to be
understood in terms of 'imitation', a concept and a practice
central to the very tradition of which Jones is a messenger and
propagandist. His exploration adds an alternative dimension to our
knowledge and understanding of a figure who is generally considered
the most important English artist of the seventeenth century.
