Jacobean style

Japanese: ジャコビアン様式 - じゃこびあんようしき(英語表記)Jacobean style
Jacobean style

A style of architecture and craftsmanship during the reign of James I of England (1603-25). It has strong continuity with the preceding Elizabethan style, and is characterized by a mixture of Perpendicular Gothic motifs and somewhat overused classical antique decoration. Many aristocratic mansions built at that time had a common hall and dining room on the first floor and a long gallery on the second floor. Although they were larger in scale, they were not as ornate as Elizabethan houses, and had a simple and subdued appearance. Brick was widely used instead of stone, and windows were changed to small rectangular ones. Representative examples include Charlton House in Wiltshire (1607), Hatfield House in Hertfordshire (1607-12), and Ashton Hall in Warwickshire (1618-35). Furniture in this style is mostly made of oak, and many of them have heavy designs with melon-shaped legs and excessive decoration.

イギリスのジェームズ1世の治世(1603~25)に行われた建築・工芸の様式。先行するエリザベス様式との連続性は強く、垂直式ゴシックのモチーフと、いささか濫用ぎみの古典古代の装飾との混在に特徴がある。当時建造された多くの貴族の邸宅は、共通して1階にホールと食堂、2階にロングギャラリーを有しており、規模こそ大きくなったものの、エリザベス朝ほどの華美さはなく、じみで落ち着いたたたずまいを示すものとなっている。また石材にかわってれんがが盛んに用いられ、窓も小さな矩形(くけい)のものに変わっている。ウィルトシャーのチャールトン・ハウス(1607)やハートフォードシャーのハットフィールド・ハウス(1607~12)、ウォーリックシャーのアシュトン・ホール(1618~35)などがその代表的な作例である。この様式の家具は、おおむねオーク材が用いられており、メロン形の脚部をもった装飾過多の重厚なデザインのものが多い。
