 WORKS
Queen’s House (1616–19) at Greenwich, London,

The queen’s house Queen Anne of denmark

• The Queen’s House (1616–19) at Greenwich, London, his first

major work, became a part of the National Maritime Museum in
1937.
• The famous architect Inigo Jones was commissioned to design the
building in 1616 by King James I’s wife, Anne of Denmark –
supposedly a gift from the king to apologise for swearing in
front of her after she had accidentally killed one of his
favourite dogs during a hunt.
• The Queen’s House was completed around 1636 and is considered
remarkable for its break with the traditional, red-brick Tudor
style of building, and for its elegant proportions and the high
quality of its interiors. It was the first fully Classical building in
England.
• THE QUEEN’S HOUSE OF TODAY -- The Queen’s House is famous today
for its extraordinary art collection including works by Great
Masters such as Gainsborough, Reynolds, Turner and Hogarth.

• The Tulip Stairs and lantern; the first

centrally unsupported helical stairs
constructed in England. The stairs are
supported by a combination of support
by cantilever from the walls and each
tread resting on the one below.
• Of its interiors, three ceilings and
some wall decorations survive in part,
but no interior remains in its original
state.

• It was used by members of the royal

family until 1805, when George III
granted the Queen’s House to a
charity for the orphans of seamen,
called the Royal Naval Asylum. This
remained until 1933, when the
school moved to Suffolk. It was
taken over by the National Maritime
Museum in 1934.

Queen's Chapel
• The Queen's Chapel is a chapel in central London, England,
that was designed by Inigo Jones and built between 1623 and
1625 as an external adjunct to St. James's Palace for the
Roman Catholic queen Henrietta Maria.
