An Entity of Type: person, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Hugh May (1621 – 21 February 1684) was an English architect in the period after the Restoration of King Charles II. He worked in the era which fell between the first introduction of Palladianism into England by Inigo Jones, and the full flowering of English Baroque under John Vanbrugh and Nicholas Hawksmoor. His own work was influenced by both Jones' work, and by Dutch architecture. Although May's only surviving works are Eltham Lodge, and the east front, stables and chapel at Cornbury House, his designs were influential. Together with his contemporary, Sir Roger Pratt, May was responsible for introducing and popularising an Anglo-Dutch type of house, which was widely imitated.

  • Hugh May (* 1621; † 21. Februar 1684) war ein englischer Architekt, der während der Stuart-Restauration unter Charles II. tätig war. May war damit in einem Zeitraum als Architekt aktiv, der zwischen der ersten Einführung des Palladianismus in England durch Inigo Jones und der Blüte des englischen Barocks unter John Vanbrugh und Nicholas Hawksmoor liegt. Seine eigenen Arbeiten waren sowohl durch die Arbeiten von Inigo Jones und als auch die klassizistische niederländische Architektur beeinflusst. Nur wenige Bauten von May sind bis heute erhalten geblieben. Zu diesen gehört Eltham Lodge sowie die Ostfront, Ställe und die Kapelle des Cornbury House. Trotzdem gelten seine Arbeiten als einflussreich und bedeutsam für die Architekturentwicklung in England und Schottland. Gemeinsam mit seinem Zeitgenossen geht auf May die Einführung eines anglo-niederländischen Baustil zurück, der weithin imitiert wurde. (de)

  • Hugh May (1621 – 21 febbraio 1684) è stato un architetto britannico. Fu amico del pittore Peter Lely e introdusse in Inghilterra i temi del Palladianesimo olandese portati in auge da Jacob van Campen e Pieter Post, realizzando, assieme a Roger Pratt, abitazioni in seguito identificate, erroneamente, come di tipo Wren. Della sua produzione resta solo un'abitazione londinese a pianta rettangolare, sormontata da un frontone e rivestita in mattoni posti a contrasto con pilastri in pietra. Lavorò, con Antonio Verrio e Grinling Gibbons, nel Castello di Windsor, ideando alcune delle più interessanti decorazioni barocche dell'Europa settentrionale, oggi perdute. (it)

  • Hugh May, född 1621, död 1684, var en engelsk arkitekt. Han var den sjunde sonen till John May av Rawmere i Mid Lavant, West Sussex med maken Elizabeth Hill. Han verkade i en era då palladianism börjat införas i England av Inigo Jones och i den under John Vanbrugh och Nicholas Hawksmoor. Mays verk influerades såväl av palladianism och holländsk arkitektur. May utsågs till Comptroller of the Works av kungen 1668 och var en av dem som ledde återuppbyggnaden av centrala London efter branden 1666. Vid Windsor Castle byggde han om den övre avdelningen, St George's Hall och det kungliga kapellet tillsammans med målaren och snidaren . Mays verk finns inte kvar efter att Sir byggde om slottet åt Georg IV i början av 1800-talet. (sv)
