Title Page, 'Gevartius, Pompa Introïtus Ferdinand', Inventory No. 11096, Royal Museum of Fine Arts in Antwerp

The Title Page, 'Gevartius, Pompa Introïtus Ferdinand' (Inventory No. 11096), by Peter Paul Rubens, is a woodcut used for the title page of Pompa Introïtus Ferdinand, a work detailing the ceremonial entry of Ferdinand into Antwerp.

The woodcut frame features a variety of mythological figures, integrating classical themes into the work. This addition not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of the title page but also aligns the ceremonial narrative with the grandeur often associated with mythological symbolism.
