This print showcases the renowned British architect, Inigo Jones (1573-1652), who left an indelible mark on England's architectural landscape. With a distinguished career spanning the 16th and 17th centuries, Jones is celebrated for introducing Italianate Renaissance architecture to his homeland. His visionary designs graced numerous iconic buildings across England, including the Queens House at Greenwich, London, and the Banqueting House at Whitehall. Beyond his architectural prowess, Jones also delved into stage design and held the esteemed position of Surveyor of Works to King Charles I until the outbreak of the Civil War. This monochrome illustration captures him in all his historical glory as he meticulously surveys Stonehenge – Britain's most notable antiquity.

In this image, we witness a man deeply immersed in history and artistry; an embodiment of intellect and creativity. Inigo Jones stands tall as a symbol of English heritage and cultural influence during a time when architectural boundaries were being pushed beyond imagination.
