EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the breathtaking "View of Nonsuch Palace in Surrey, 1567-8" by Joris Hoefnagel. The painting, created with watercolor on paper, transports us back to a time when this unique and incomparable palace stood as a testament to Tudor grandeur. Commissioned by Henry VIII in 1538 to commemorate the birth of his son Edward, Nonsuch Palace was designed to glorify the Tudor dynasty and rival the magnificent French Renaissance chateaux of Francois I. It became Elizabeth I's favorite residence and symbolized her reign as Gloriana. Hoefnagel's drawing from his visit to England beautifully captures the essence of this architectural masterpiece. His attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke, allowing us to appreciate the intricate design and opulence of Nonsuch Palace. The image holds historical significance as it served as inspiration for Hoefnagel's engraving in 1582. This particular print offers a glimpse into both artistic skill and cultural history. Mark Fiennes has preserved this remarkable piece within his private collection, ensuring its legacy lives on for generations to come. As we admire this painting, we are transported back in time, marveling at an era where palaces like Nonsuch were unrivaled works of art themselves.
