A Stunning Second View of Arundel House, Residence of the Earl of Arundel (1646) This image, dated 1646, presents a second view of Arundel House, the magnificent London residence of the esteemed Earl of Arundel. Situated in the heart of the English capital, this historic edifice holds a significant place in the annals of British history. The Earl of Arundel, an influential figure during the English Civil War, was a patron of the renowned artist Wenceslaus Hollar. Hollar, a Bohemian engraver, captured the essence of Arundel House in this intricately detailed print. The structure's grandeur is evident in the symmetrical design, with its tall, narrow windows, intricate ornamentation, and elegant chimneys. The meticulous attention to detail in the engraving showcases Hollar's exceptional artistic skills. Arundel House, originally built in the late 16th century, underwent significant renovations during the 17th century, which is reflected in this print. The residence was a symbol of power and wealth, and the Earl of Arundel spared no expense in maintaining its grandeur. The print also offers a glimpse into the architectural styles prevalent during the time. The combination of Elizabethan and Jacobean influences is evident in the building's design, with its red brick facade and ornate decorative elements. The print also reveals the presence of a garden, a common feature of grand residences during this period. This second view of Arundel House provides a fascinating insight into the history of one of London's most iconic buildings and the era in which it thrived. The print serves as a testament to the artistic prowess of Wenceslaus Hollar and the opulence of the Earl of Arundel's residence.
