Who was the British architect who brought Italian architecture to Britain?
There wasn't a specific person who brought Italian architecture the Britain. The first forms of Italian architecture ever present in Britain would have been the Roman architecture brought over by the Romans themselves. Following the Norman conquest of 1066, the Norman-French fabricated a style of architecture for their own use, and one that was based on Ancient Roman architectural forms. This style was of course called Romanesque Architecture. During the Victorian Era, England formulated and built in a style called Italianate Architecture, which was a compilation of Ancient Roman, Italian Renaissance, and other Italian architectural styles. Lastly, in the same era, Britain also adopted the European architectural form of Palladian Architecture/Palladianism, an Italian architectural system created by and named after the world famous Italian architect Andrea Palladio, and created by a combination of Ancient Roman, Italian Renaissance, and his own innovative and inventive architectural uses. The English architects Indigo Jones and John Nash were two of the best known importers and proponents of Italian architectural forms and styles throughout Britain.
What was culture like in the 1600s?
Answer Culture varied very greatly across the seventeenth century. Architecture, music and art began the transition from Renaissance to Baroque styles. Architecture became more natural-looking and curvaceous, often inspired by leaves, shells etc., sometimes with geometric shapes to provide the overall structure. The modal system began to fall out of use in music, and, by the end of the century, major and minor chords and scales began to take off, even if they only reached their full potential in the Classical period. The makings of the modern orchestra began to form. Art appeared more realistic, with sculpture and paintings often reflecting Classical forms. Theatre, however, was possibly the most widely enjoyed of the arts, open to both rich and poor alike. William Shakespeare wrote some of the world's best plays at the start of the century. America, at this point still mostly controlled by natives, had not yet diverged into its own styles of architecture etc., but adopted the classical forms of Palladianism as its 'official' architecture (eg. the White House, Washington Memorial etc.) in the 1700s. Overall, the 1600s can be seen as a time of transition in the arts, opening new doors in almost every field, paving the way for Classicism to take over in the next century.
