<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bronwen, post: 11394430, member: 5833&quot;]Went looking for an image of the original Albani painting &amp; couldn&#039;t find it.&nbsp; Weirdly, I did find 2 other paintings that are being described with an alternate title of &#039;l&#039;Air&#039; that are clearly not allegorical representation of Air, the way this one is.&nbsp; One, &#039;The Toilet of Venus&#039;, might conceivably be Earth from the elements series, but another turns up described as Mercury and Apollo when it is clearly no such thing.&nbsp; It appears to be Mercury bearing a message from Olympus to a herdsman, possibly Paris, while all the other gods look on.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is not your engraving, but does tell a little about the paintings:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.britishmuseum.org/collection/object/P_2010-7081-154" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.britishmuseum.org/collection/object/P_2010-7081-154" rel="nofollow">https://www.britishmuseum.org/collection/object/P_2010-7081-154</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
