Plate 41 - A Spectacular Fireworks Display in a City Square, with Cardinal Infante Ferdinand Watching from a Balcony at Right. . . 1636
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the vibrant city squares of the 17th century. The artwork, created by Johannes Meursius and Willem van der Beke, beautifully captures a grand fireworks display that illuminates the night sky. As we gaze upon this historical scene, our eyes are drawn to Cardinal Infante Ferdinand himself, standing on a balcony at the right side of the image. Ferdinand's presence adds an air of regality and importance to this already breathtaking spectacle. Dressed in his cardinal robes, he watches with awe as bursts of colorful lights fill the square below him. His figure stands out against the dark backdrop, symbolizing his role as both governor of the Southern Netherlands and an influential member of European nobility. The intricate details within this engraving showcase Flanders' rich artistic heritage. From architectural features to horse-drawn carriages lining the streets below, every element contributes to creating a sense of bustling activity and celebration. As we admire this antique masterpiece displayed in an art gallery or cultural center today, it serves as a reminder not only of past festivities but also how art can transport us through time. This piece allows us to witness history unfolding before our eyes – capturing both its beauty and significance for generations to come.
