EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Plate 8: Ferdinand on horseback crossing the Alps" takes us back to the 17th century, immersing us in a scene of power and determination. The image, derived from Guillielmus Becanus's work, showcases Cardinal Infante Ferdinand of Austria as he fearlessly traverses the treacherous Alpine terrain. Mounted on his majestic steed, Ferdinand exudes an air of authority and resilience. Clad in armor and armed with unwavering determination, he symbolizes the might of the armed forces during this era. The black-and-white composition adds a timeless quality to the image, emphasizing its historical significance. The collaboration between Pieter de Jode II and Cornelis Schut brings this momentous event to life through their artistic prowess. Schut's masterful brushstrokes capture every detail with precision while de Jode II's expertise in printmaking immortalizes this remarkable scene for generations to come. This Flemish masterpiece not only celebrates Ferdinand's triumph but also pays homage to Flanders' rich cultural heritage. It serves as a testament to Spain's influence during that period and stands as a reminder of their military prowess. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this print invites viewers into an immersive journey through time.
