Which architect is described as the dominating personality who became an ardent disciple of the Italian Renaissance style?

• A. Iñigo Jones
• B. Callimachus
• C. Theron
• D. Libon

Answer: (A)

Iñigo Jones is the architect who fits this description. He traveled to Italy, absorbed Palladian and Italian Renaissance ideas, and then became a leading advocate of that classical idiom in England, shaping English architecture with a disciplined, Renaissance-inspired vocabulary. The other names are ancient Greek architects known from classical texts, not figures who championed Italian Renaissance style in Britain, so they don’t match the described role.
