He was invited to Copenhagen by the King of Denmark, but returned to England in 1604. He revisited Italy in 1612 for further study, and on his return introduced a purer Renaissance style, founded on Italian models and ornamentation. The Italian architect Palladio was Inigo Jones's favourite master in design, his works being carefully studied by him, and thus Palladio had a great influence on English architecture. The Commonwealth intervened, and checked the execution of many of Inigo Jones's designs.
