1612
ink
From the collection of National Gallery of Art
Triumphal Entry of Margaret of Austria is a 1612 ink by Antonio Tempesta, a Baroque work, depicting Charles V, held at National Gallery of Art.
Antonio Tempesta printed this etching in 1612. It shows Margaret of Austria riding through a crowded Roman arch. Trumpets blow, people cheer, and her horse prances. This is one of the last big prints Tempesta made. He loved crowded scenes with tiny figures. Look close—you’ll see a guy in the left corner holding a dog on a leash. Pair this with a quick search for drypoint.
Antonio Tempesta, also called il Tempestino (1555 – 5 August 1630), was an Italian painter and engraver, whose art acted as a point of connection between Baroque Rome and the culture of Antwerp.
