Description |
English: Plate 34: Mercury Departing from Antwerp; on a pedestal at the centre stands Mercury, wearing his winged helmut and sandals, readying for departure with a caduceus and purse raised in his outstretched hand; to the left the personification of a river god (River Scheldt) leans against a silenced cannon, sleeping, as a putto turns the bounds around his ankle; at right, Antverpia kneels on a block, with an anchor and broken oars beside her; in the background the stern of a ship rides the calm waters of the Scheldt with the standard of the Spanish Netherlands flying; after Peter Paul Rubens; illustration for Gaspar Gevaerts' "Pompa Introitus" (Antwerp, 1641)

[edit]This image is in the public domain because it is a mere mechanical scan or photocopy of a public domain original, or – from the available evidence – is so similar to such a scan or photocopy that no copyright protection can be expected to arise. The original itself is in the public domain for the following reason:
This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag. ![]() |
