This vibrant oil painting captures the momentous occasion of the Joyful Entry of the Duke of Anjou in Antwerp on 19 February 1582. The scene is filled with a colorful procession, as horsemen and footmen pass by a gate of honor, captivating the spectator's gaze. At the center of it all, riding atop a magnificent steed and adorned in a scarlet cloak, is Francois, Duke of Anjou himself. He is sheltered by a worn canopy that adds an air of regality to his presence. The streets are lined with soldiers and civil servants who stand before an eager public, creating an atmosphere brimming with excitement and anticipation. One can even spot a captain kneeling before the duke as a sign of respect and loyalty. In the background, we catch glimpses of Antwerp's bustling port amidst blocks of houses. To the right stands an impressive scaffolding adorned with burning vessels, adding to the grandeur and spectacle surrounding this joyous event.
