DESCRIPTION:*Abstract*: Jones is often seen as a disciple of Palladio. How
 ever\, his work was also shaped by national forces and a negative reaction
  to Italian architecture. This lecture will examine the links between the 
 column and the crown prior to Jones's work. It will discuss how notes made
  following his visit to Rome in 1614 can be viewed in the context of Prote
 stant decorative sensitivities. Jones's subsequent buildings will be exami
 ned in the light of these notes. Jones will be shown to have sought to est
 ablish a temperate classism\, distinct from the excesses of Rome and consi
 stent with Protestant aesthetics.\n\n*Biography*: Vaughan Hart is the Prof
