This 1691 etching by Hendrik Causé, titled "Blad met tien voorstellingen van de intocht van de Kardinaal Infant Ferdinand te Antwerpen, 1635", is a detailed depiction of ten architectural landmarks in Antwerp. Created in a meticulous, almost scientific style, the work showcases the grandeur of the city during the 17th century. The artist, a prominent engraver of the Dutch Golden Age, captures the scale and ornamentation of buildings like the Porta Marina, the Porta Calzarea, and the Church of Saint Michael with precise lines and clear perspective. This meticulously crafted engraving offers a glimpse into the architectural legacy of Antwerp and serves as a valuable historical document of the city's urban landscape.
