Notes

One of a series of forty-three plates illustrating Gaspar Gevaerts' "Pompa Introitus"; for additional comments see 1884,0112.31. This etching records Rubens' design for the painted centerpiece of the rear façacde of the Arch of Philip, commemorating the wedding of the Archduke Philip the Fair and the Infanta Joanna of Spain ('Joanna the Mad'), which took place at Lier, near Antwerp, in 1496. The painting was executed by Jacob Jordaens for the decoration after Rubens' designs, and later retouched by Jordaens for its presentation as a gift to the Cardinal-Infante. The painting itself is lost, but probably Van Thulden followed Rubens' initial oil sketches for the decoration.

[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:
Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 70 years or fewer.


You must also include a United States public domain tag to indicate why this work is in the public domain in the United States.

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.


Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
