Plate 19 presents us with a triumphal arch, its front elevation adorned with a cloud bearing Ferdinand's name. Van der Beke's skillful hand brings forth an architectural masterpiece that exudes power and majesty. Similarly, Plate 12 showcases the back facade of another triumphal arch, proudly displaying Ferdinand's coat of arms. In Plate 32, we find Venus seeking Jupiter's protection amidst intricate allegorical figures and cherubs. Van der Beke masterfully captures this divine moment in all its ethereal beauty. Meanwhile, Plate 15 portrays Ferdinand as Hannibal crossing the Alps—an epic scene brought to life through meticulous brushstrokes.

Plate 33 introduces us to an armorial trophy resting upon a Tuscan column while being surrounded by allegorical figures and cherubs—an exquisite display of symbolism expertly crafted by van der Beke himself. Vanquishing Trojans becomes vividly real in Plate 16 as Achilles battles his foes under Guillielmus Becanuss Serenissimi Pri. . 1636—another testament to van der Beke's ability to capture intense action within his artwork. A breathtaking fireworks display takes center stage in Plate 41 as Ferdinand watches from a balcony at right.
