EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Philip IV Appointing Prince Ferdinand Governor of the Netherlands," is plate 25 from the series "Pompa Introitus Honori Serenissimi Principis Ferdinandi" (Triumphal Entry of the Most Serene and Honorable Cardinal-Infante Ferdinand) by Theodoor van Thulden, created in 1642. The meticulously detailed work showcases the grand ceremony of the appointment of Don Fernando de Austria, later known as Cardinal-Infante Ferdinand, as the new governor of the Netherlands. The image depicts King Philip IV of Spain (reigned 1621-1665) seated on his throne, surrounded by an array of dignitaries and courtiers. The king extends his hand in a gesture of bestowal, placing a seal on a document held by the young Ferdinand. The Infanta Isabella Clara Eugenia, King Philip's sister and co-regent of the Netherlands, stands beside her brother, her regal attire adorned with jewels and ermine fur. The engraving is a testament to the opulence and grandeur of the Spanish court during this period. The intricate decorative elements, such as the ornate furnishings, rich fabrics, and elaborate headdresses, add to the sense of splendor and importance of the occasion. This engraving is a significant historical document, as it records the momentous event of the appointment of Ferdinand as the new governor of the Netherlands, a position that would shape the political landscape of the region for years to come. The work is a masterpiece of Flemish art, demonstrating the exceptional skill and artistry of Theodoor van Thulden. This piece is now part of the esteemed collections of the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors with its intricate details and historical significance.
