| Wenceslaus Hollar after Adam Elsheimer Realm of Juno 1646 etching Metropolitan Museum of Art |
The three etchings above by Wenceslaus Hollar (1607-1677) make up a series called The Three Realms (those of Pallas, Venus and Juno) based on three paintings by Adam Elsheimer (1578-1610). The paintings could be found during the early 17th century in the London collection of Thomas Howard, Earl of Arundel (1586-1646). This collection was largely broken up in the middle of the century as a result of the English Civil War. Many important Arundel paintings have been traced to later owners, but Elsheimer's Juno is believed to be lost.
