Descriptio Publicae Gratulationis Spectaculorum et Ludorum, in Advent Sereniss. Principis Ernesti Archiducis Austriae ... (Entry of Ernest, Archduke of Austria, into Antwerp, July 18, 1594) 1595

Peeter van der Borcht's 1595 engraving, *Descriptio Publicae Gratulationis Spectaculorum et Ludorum, in Advent Sereniss. Principis Ernesti Archiducis Austriae ... (Entry of Ernest, Archduke of Austria, into Antwerp, July 18, 1594)*, depicts the elaborate stage design created for the Archduke Ernest's triumphant entry into Antwerp. The engraving captures the grandeur of the event, featuring multiple tiers of seated figures and a central stage with a series of arches, likely for theatrical performances. The work exemplifies the artistic flourishing of the late 16th century and provides a glimpse into the rich visual culture of Renaissance Antwerp.
