Procured many artificers, architects, sculptors, and statuaries, as well as Italians, French, and Dutch, who NONSUCH. 187 applied to the ornament of this mansion the finest and most curious skill they possessed in their several arts, embellishing it within and without with magnificent statues, some of which represent the antiquities of Rome, " and some surpass them, a statement which Camden in his " Britannia " echoes, and declares that Nonsuch " was built with so much splendour and elegance, t...hat it stands a monument of art, and you would think that the skill and science of architecture were exhausted on this one building. It has such a profusion of animated statues and finished pieces of art, rivalling the ornaments of ancient Rome itself, that it justly receives and maintains its name from them. " The credit of the design rests with one Anthonio or Toto* dell Nunciata, a Florentine painter and architect, who entered, with many other foreign artists, the King's service, and whose special skill in designing allegorical and pictorial sculpture was seen in the elaborate ornament, which justly earned for this building the name of " Nonsuch, " a palace of which, it may be said, it was the only one Henry VIII.
