Meets the Earl of Arundel
The famous nobleman and art collector Thomas Howard, 21st Earl of Arundel, then on a diplomatic mission to the imperial court of Emperor Ferdinand II, takes notice of him. Hollar is employed as a draftsman.
1637
Moves to England with Arundel
In 1637 he goes with Arundel to England, where he remains in the earl’s household for many years.
