Plate 36: Men with heraldic flags and horses from Zutphen and Namur marching in the funeral procession of Archduke Albert of Austria; from 'Pompa Funebris ... Alberti Pii' 1623

This engraving by Cornelis Galle I, from 1623, depicts a scene from the funeral procession of Archduke Albert of Austria. The plate shows men bearing heraldic flags representing Zutphen and Namur, both cities in the Spanish Netherlands, along with their respective coats of arms. The engraved procession is depicted in detailed fashion, with the figures of the men and the horses meticulously rendered. This is one of 36 plates from a larger work titled "Pompa Funebris...Alberti Pii," which commemorated the life of Archduke Albert, who died in 1621. The print was commissioned by Albert's widow, Isabella, who served as the governor of the Spanish Netherlands. The print is a valuable historical document and a fine example of 17th-century Dutch engraving.
