- Curator's comments
- One of a series of forty-three plates illustrating Gaspar Gevaerts' "Pompa Introitus"; for further comments see 1884,0112.31. This etching records the centrepiece for the tableau of the stage for the Temple of Janus; for further comments on the temple in its entirety see 1884,0112.61. Theodoor Rombouts painted the oil painting included in the decoration after Rubens' modello. It appears that van Tulden executed his etching after Rubens' oil sketch (Leningrad), rather than Rombouts painting.
