Description: London, Greenwich: Scala, The Royal Museums, 2012. 19cm., pbk., 127pp. prof. illus., most in color. Summary: The Queen’s House, built by Inigo Jones between 1616 and about 1638, is of unique significance as the earliest English building in the Italian Renaissance manner, generally called Palladian. This wonderfully illustrated book contextualises the house within its setting of Maritime Greenwich, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. From its origins as a royal residence to its use by the Royal Naval Asylum and Greenwich Hospital School, and more recently as home to the National Maritime Museum’s vast painting collection, the book explores the architectural significance of the house and provides an insight into its cultural and social uses. Beautifully illustrated throughout with images from the National Maritime Museum’s collection, including historic prints, scenic paintings and updated photography.
