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.
This etching shows Margaret of Austria riding a white horse. She’s dressed in fancy armor, and people cheer behind her. The crowd holds flags and banners in bright colors. It’s based on a real event from 1599. Margaret didn’t actually enter on horseback—this is a dramatic twist by the artist. The etching style makes shadows look deep and sharp. This looks like work by Antonio Tempesta.
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.
