Notes

One of a series of forty-three plates illustrating Gaspar Gevaerts' "Pompa Introitus"; for additional comments see 1884,0112.31. For a panoramic view of portico see 1884,0112.47. Frederick IV, called "the Peacemaker", reigned as German king for fifty-three years and was the last emperor to be crowned in Rome. His son, Maximilian I, appears prominently in the full view of the portico just to the left of the central archway.

The actual gilded stone statues of the gallery were contracted to five sculptors, including Huibrecht van den Eynden and Sebastiaan de Neve, and the gilder Louis Vergouwen and his assistants. They stood over life-size at two and a half metres in height. After the Entry they were cleaned and presented to Ferdinand as a gift. Formerly in the Palace in Brussels, they were all destroyed by fire in 1731.
