The Architecture of Inigo Jones, John Webb and William Samwell - ArtsNational Cairns presentation

Venue: Stratford Library Meeting Room

Artist: Christopher Garibaldi

Promoter: ArtsNational Cairns

These men were the most important and influential architects working in England in the mid-seventeenth century. We look at the relationship between the work of these three architects for their respective royal and aristocratic patrons. Whilst Inigo Jones became Surveyor of the Kings Works in 1611, John Webb, his pupil, assistant and natural successor, failed to secure the same role. Webb was nevertheless one of the most important and influential architects at the time in England, he designed part of Greenwich Palace for Charles II and alterations to the Queen’s House and Belvoir Castle. During the same period his work influenced that of the gentleman architect William Samwell who built the palace at Newmarket.

Christopher Garibaldi is an Independant Researcher. He was the Director of Palace House, Newmarket and Co-Director of Attingham Summer School for the Study of Historic Houses and Collections. Christopher was the Senior Curator & Assistant Keeper of Art at Norwich Castle Museum and the co-curator of Flower Power – The Meaning of Flowers in Art and Eat, Drink and Be Merry, the British at Table 1600 to 2000. And catalogued Silver in the Royal Collection at Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle.
