William Vertue (died 1527) was an English architect specialising in Fan vault ceilings. Along with his brother Robert, he was involved in the construction of the Tower of London (1501–1502), Bath Abbey,〔page 113, Kenneth Hylson-Smith, Bath Abbey A History, 2003, The Friends of Bath Abbey〕 the Vertue brothers are reported as telling Bishop Oliver King the patron of the work that the vaulting "Ther shal be noone so goodeley, neither in England nor in France"〔Correspondence of Bishop Oliver King and Sir Reginald Bray, published in the Proceedings of the Somerset Archaeological and Natural History Society 60 pt 2 1914 4〕 and the vaulting and the clerestory windows and walls of the Henry VII's chapel at Westminster,〔page 201, Tim Tatton-Brown & Richard Mortimer, Westminster Abbey: The Lady Chapel of Henry VII, 2003, Boydell Press〕 between 1506–09, though Robert Virtue was dead by then and William is thought to be entirely responsible. He advised John Wastell about the design for the fan vaulted ceiling at King's College Chapel, Cambridge,.〔pages 203-4, Francis Woodman, The Architectural History of King's College Chapel and its Place in the Development of Late Gothic Architecture in England and France, 1986, Routledge & Kegan Paul〕 The fan vault over the crossing at St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle in 1528 finished after his death was his last known architectural work.〔page 656, Geoffrey Tyack, Simon Bradley & Nikolaus Pevsner, Buildings of England Berkshire, 2010, Yale University Press〕 ==Gallery of architectural work== File:Bath.abbey.fan.vault.arp.jpg|Fan Vault, Bath Abbey, the vault by Virtue is in the distance, in the chancel, the nearer vault is a Victorian copy by Sir George Gilbert Scott File:Castell de Windsor - Capella de Sant Jordi.JPG|St. George's Chapel, Windsor Castle, vaulting, the vault by Vertue is the fan vault over the crossing File:Westminster abbey16.jpg|Henry VII's Chapel, Westminster Abbey, main vault File:Henry7Chapel 07.jpg|Henry VII's Chapel, Westminster Abbey, aisle vault File:Henry7Chapel 04.jpg|Henry VII's Chapel, Westminster Abbey, exterior from the south-east File:Henry7Chapel 01.jpg|Henry VII's chapel, Westminster Abbey, interior looking west 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「William Vertue」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
