Essi sostituiscono i \u201cBishops\u2019 Inns\u201d, grandi residenze episcopali costruite intorno al XIII secolo sulla riva destra del Tamigi, denominata \u201cStrand\u201d (letteralmente spiaggia), localit\u00e0 strategica perch\u00e9 posta tra la City e Westminster, i centri economico-politici del paese, nonch\u00e9 direttamente collegata, grazie al fiume, a tutti i palazzi reali, da Greenwhich a Hampton Court. Con lo scisma enriciano del 1536, queste dimore passarono alla classe politica emergente, che ne fece sede del pi\u00f9 raffinato mecenatismo, sia a livello artistico, visto che molti di questi palazzi furono dei veri e propri musei\u00a0ante litteram<\/em>, sia architettonico, considerato il coinvolgimento di tutti i piu grandi architetti del periodo, tra cui Inigo Jones, celebre \u201csurveyor\u201d degli edifici reali che risiedeva proprio nello Strand.\u00a0A cavallo tra Cinque e Seicento, furono cosi create Essex House, Arundel House, Somerset House, The Savoy, Burghley-Cecil House, Bedford House, Worcester House, Salisbury House, Durham House, York House e Northampton (poi Northumberland) House.<\/div>\n

London Palaces of the Strand: 1550\u20131650<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

Originating from the author\u2019s book on the Great Houses<\/em> of the Strand: the Ruling Elite at home in Tudor and Jacobean London<\/em> (Yale University Press, New Haven and London 2016), this essay provides an overview of the so\u2013called Strand palaces, a highly significant if much neglected chapter of London\u2019s architecture. The Strand palace phenomenon, in which owning a residence close to Westminster became de rigueur after Henry VIII established a permanent court at Whitehall, itself originates from the far older \u201cBishops\u2019 Inns\u201d, metaphorical power houses of the high clergy strategically built along the Strand in the 13th century. The Strand was the \u2018main channel of communication\u2019 between London\u2019s economic heart in the City and its political centre at Westminster, while the Thames furnished the conditions for rapid public transport to all the royal palaces, from Greenwich to Hampton Court. After the dissolution of the monasteries in 1536, the inns passed to the emerging political \u00e9lite, becoming a satellite court and seat of refined patronage both for art (many of these palaces became ante litteram<\/em> museums) and architecture, considering the involvement of all the greatest architects of the period, comprising Inigo Jones, celebrated \u201csurveyor\u201d of royal building and a resident of the Strand. Between the 1540s and the 1650s, 11 palaces either replaced or incorporated the old inns, from East to West: Essex House, Arundel House, Somerset House, The Savoy, Burghley\u2013Cecil House, Bedford House, Worcester House, Salisbury House, Durham House, York House and Northampton (later Northumberland) House.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
