Praalwagen van Neptunus en Amphitrite, Inventory No. MPM.KP.0052.E, Museum Plantin Moretus, Antwerp

The object is an engraving titled Praalwagen van Neptunus en Amphitrite (Neptune and Amphitrite's Triumphal Chariot), created for the joyous entry of Archdukes Albert and Isabella into Antwerp in 1599.

It was designed by Joos de Momper and engraved by Pieter van der Borcht in 1602. The copper engraving reflects the intricate ceremonial art of the era and is connected to Joannes Bochius' historical narrative of the event. The Museum Plantin-Moretus holds this piece as part of its collection.
