Long considered lost, the cycle of paintings of the Seasons and Times of Day (1741) – a collaborative work by Johann Peter Molitor (1702/1703–1757), Georg Christoph Grooth (1716–1749), and Wenzel Lorenz Reiner (1689–1743) – has now been newly identified at Lemberk Castle in northern Bohemia. The article offers a detailed reconstruction of the provenance of this ensemble, which over time passed through the hands of numerous prominent owners, resulting in an instructive chapter in the history of art collecting. It also examines the unusual iconography of the paintings, which are here more closely situated within the corpus of works by their respective authors, all tied to a single commission by a patron who nevertheless remains unknown.
