Triomfpoort opgericht door de broeders van de Onze-Lieve-Vrouwekathedraal before 1685

This engraving by Gaspar Bouttats, dated before 1685, depicts a triumphal arch designed for the city of Antwerp. The arch is adorned with a complex arrangement of decorative elements, including a crowned coat of arms, a mounted figure, and statues of figures holding cornucopias. The intricate details and the imposing scale of the design represent the power and grandeur of the city. This artwork is an excellent example of the Baroque architectural style, with its emphasis on drama, movement, and ornamentation.
