Abstract:In this study, I have explored Inigo Jones’ (1573 – 1652) costume design, his career as a costume designer and how he used symbols in his work. By focusing on one case study, the Masque of Queens, performed in 1609, the overall aim is to discover, how Inigo Jones used sources in his designs, such as masque writers text and his Italian sketchbook and in particular, his use of Cesare Ripa’s Iconologia (1598) as a source for sym-bols in his design work. Inigo Jones is known as one of the great architects in late Renaissance England. His major work also included costume and set design, which concentrated on Royal Masques. The masque was a method of displaying the magnificence of the Royal family to the public. Each masque had a script written to proclaim the power of King and Queen and the most important roles were reserved for those two. Actual performance lasts for hours with a combination of acting, dancing and singing. A tight hierarchy can be seen in the disposition of masque roles with a descending order of status for the people from the highest social class. In the performance only the most expensive and grand materials were used, such as velvet, brocade and silk.
