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. Maximilian II succeeded his father, Ferdinand I, as emperor in 1564. Rudolph II, his eldest son and successor, was crowned emperor in 1576.

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.

[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.
 Note that a few countries have copyright terms longer than 70 years: Mexico has 100 years, Jamaica has 95 years, Colombia has 80 years, and Guatemala and Samoa have 75 years. This image may not be in the public domain in these countries, which moreover do not implement the rule of the shorter term. Honduras has a general copyright term of 75 years, but it does implement the rule of the shorter term. Copyright may extend on works created by French who died for France in World War II (more information), Russians who served in the Eastern Front of World War II (known as the Great Patriotic War in Russia) and posthumously rehabilitated victims of Soviet repressions (more information).
This file has been identified as being free of known restrictions under copyright law, including all related and neighboring rights.

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.
