In spite of alterations made to St Paul's Church since the Bohemian artist Wenceslaus Hollar made this etching around 1647, anyone familiar with the Covent Garden shopping and tourist area of London will recognize the portico of the Inigo Jones designed 1633 "actors' church".

Staircase, built between 1616 and 1635, at The Queen's House, Greenwich by Inigo Jones.

The building, was commissioned by Queen Anne of Denmark in 1616. These are the first 'cantilevered' [centrally unsupported] stairs in England, copying a Venetian model #staircase #InigoJones

Kelston Village Pump & Trough (Grade II listed building).
The 'coat of arms' is the monogram of Colonel Inigo Jones, who built this - and many more buildings in Kelston, each bearing this same monogram. (Not the celebrated architect Inigo Jones, but a Boer War soldier.)
Oh, and the trough is home to a number of goldfish, one of which can be glimpsed in the second photo.

#Datreveno #InigoJones #Arkitekturo

Je ĉi dato en 1573 naskiĝis Inigo Jones, arkitekto, kiu portis ideojn de renesanca Italio al Britio en siajn dezajnojn, kaj kiu konstruis kelkajn vidindaĵojn en Londono. Li lernis sian arton per konstruado de scenejoj. Onidire li difinis la modernan formon por teatro kun proscena arko, kaj inventis la ideon pri movebla dekoracio. https://eo.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inigo_Jones
