Nicholas Stone
Nicholas Stone (1586/87〔Howard Colvin, ''A Biographical Dictionary of British Architects, 1600-1840'' 3rd ed. (Yale University Press) 1995, ''s.v.'' "Stone, Nicholas", gives 1587 as his birth year.〕 – 24 August 1647) was an English sculptor and architect. In 1619 he was appointed master-mason to James I, and in 1626 to Charles I.
During his career he was the mason responsible for not only the building of Inigo Jones' Banqueting House, Whitehall,〔William Cure, the King's Master Mason having declined the demanding task (Colvin 1995).〕 but the execution of avant-garde funerary monuments for some of the most prominent of his era. As an architect he worked in the Baroque style providing England with some of its earliest examples of the style that was not to find favour in the country for another sixty years, and then only fleetingly.
==Early life==
Nicholas Stone was born in 1586, the son of a quarryman of Woodbury, near Exeter.〔Colvin 1995.〕 He was first apprenticed to Isaac James, a Dutch-born London mason working in Southwark, London.〔 When the sculptor Hendrik de Keyser (1567–1621), master mason to the City of Amsterdam, visited London in 1606, Stone was introduced to him and contracted to work for him in Holland, where he married de Keyser's daughter and worked with his son Pieter.〔 Stone is thought to have made the portico to the Westerkerk in Amsterdam. In 1613 he returned to London with Bernard Janssens, a fellow pupil of de Keyser and settled in Long Acre, St Martin-in-the-Fields, where he established a large practice and workshops and soon became the leading English sculptor of funeral monuments.
