He subsequently founded Rizzoli International Bookstores, which expanded throughout the United States, and Rizzoli International Publications, which became one of country’s most renowned publishers of illustrated books.

  4. Our theme… Thoroughly Modern Soane Some of the most innovative architects practicing in the late 20th and early 21st centuries often refer to and discuss their inspiration from the early 19th-century architecture of  Sir John Soane. Soane is well-known for his use of simple masses, clean lines and forms, and his dramatic manipulation of light and reflective surfaces.   Three examples of use of natural light in spaces. (lighting fixtures in the picture on the far left are obviously contemporary)

  9. A BRIEF HISTORY ofSIR JOHN SOANE and what is today the MUSEUM The architecture of Sir John Soane, R.A., was highly idiosyncratic. Soane was born in 1753, the son of a bricklayer, and died after a long and distinguished career, in 1837. As an English architect of significant influence during the last quarter of the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, Soane worked within the parameters of the classical idiom to create unique commercial and residential structures. The Dulwich Picture Gallery and portions of the Bank of England are among the few remaining examples of his distinctive style of public architecture. His London home, located at Numbers 12 and 13 Lincoln's Inn Fields, has become the Sir John Soane’s Museum and remains the best example of his genius in the design of the residence. Soane was a visionary who used his home as a laboratory for his ideas, the repository for his vast collections of 30,000 drawings; paintings including works by Canaletto, Hogarth and Turner; architectural models; Greek and Roman sculpture and Egyptian Antiquities; 10,000 rare books, including first editions of Milton and Shakespeare, as well as his very personal dwelling space. No discussion of his work would be complete without mentioning his use of light. The Museum is filled with mirrors, domes, fantastic ceilings and skylights with colored glass, used not only to light the rooms but also to create dramatic effects and to highlight the numerous plaster casts and marble fragments that are artistically arranged in every available space throughout the house. Due to his foresight in leaving his home to the public by Act of Parliament in 1833, Soane’s house and its contents survive today, exactly as they were in his time, giving the visitor a rare glimpse into a middle class home of the period.
