Elizabethan architecture
Elizabethan architecture
is the term given to early
Renaissance architecture
in England, during the reign of
Queen Elizabeth I
. Historically, the period corresponds to the
Cinquecento
in Italy, the
Early Renaissance
in France, and the
Plateresque style
in Spain. Stylistically, it followed
Tudor architecture
and was succeeded in the 17th century largely by its stylistic extension,
Jacobean architecture
, and to a limited degree by
Palladian architecture
, introduced in a handful of prominent commissions within court circles by
Inigo Jones
.
