专家说明

Following a victory of the Habsburgs over the Ottoman Empire, Frans Floris was commissioned by the State of Genoa to contribute a painting to a triumphal arch for the entry of Charles V and his successor Philip into Antwerp in 1549. This etching, the only one created by Floris himself, is based on the design of his painting, now lost, commemorating this victory. It depicts an allegory of Victory, surrounded by trophies and the slain or captive enemies.

It is the claustrophobic density and the free and spontaneous etching style that makes the charm of this very unusual print.
