Blyde inkomst der allerdoorluchtighste koninginne, Maria de Medicis, t' Amsterdam
This is a 1639 Amsterdam publication by Caspar van Baerle, printed by Johan and Cornelis Blaeu, recording the ceremonial entry of Queen Marie de Medicis into the city for a Dutch audience. Its plates are hand-coloured engravings: allegorical tableaux with figures in classical armour, gowns and draped red curtains, and a street scene of a triumphal arch crowded with onlookers, useful for designers studying Baroque pageant staging, costume, and crowd composition.
