Notes

One of a series of forty-three plates illustrating Gaspar Gevaerts' "Pompa Introitus"; for further comments see 1884,0112.31. This decoration is the first of the temporary structures erected for the Entry and bears the form of a monumental triptych of carved and painted wood framing three canvases. It stood at ot over twenty-two metres in height in the Mechelse Plein, behind the St. Joriskerk, facing the procession along the St Jorispoortstraat. In contemporary sources the work is variously referred to as the Stage of St. Joriskerk, the Stage of Good Hope and the Adventus Principis; Gevaert refers to it as the Rejoicing over the Arrival of the Most Serene Prince. Rubens' first oil sketch for the Stage of Welcome reveals that the left and right wings were not included in his initial design and he works out the subsequent expansion of the stage in two additional preparatory sketches (see Martin below).

Public domain

This work is in the public domain in its country of origin and other countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 70 years or fewer.

You must also include a United States public domain tag to indicate why this work is in the public domain in the United States. Note that a few countries have copyright terms longer than 70 years: Mexico has 100 years, Jamaica has 95 years, Colombia has 80 years, and Guatemala and Samoa have 75 years. This image may not be in the public domain in these countries, which moreover do not implement the rule of the shorter term. Honduras has a general copyright term of 75 years, but it does implement the rule of the shorter term.

This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.
