EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the grandeur and splendor of "The Ommegang in Brussels on 31st May 1615: Procession of Notre Dame de Sablon" by Denys van Alsloot. The oil on canvas painting, measuring an impressive 132x386 cm, is housed in the Prado Museum in Madrid, Spain. The artwork depicts a religious procession held to honor the visit of Spanish King Charles V to Brussels in 1549. Commissioned by Archduchess Isabella, wife of Albert, governor of the Spanish Netherlands, this painting is part of a series of six that beautifully portray this triumphal pageant. Intricate details fill every corner of the composition as musicians play their instruments and guild members proudly display their trade symbols. Citizens from all walks of life gather at Place du Grand Sablon to witness this spectacle unfold before them. The square is filled with spectators eagerly awaiting the arrival of Our Lady's statue carried by devoted believers. The vibrant colors and skillful brushwork bring to life not only the festive atmosphere but also showcase architectural marvels such as gabled rooftops and majestic buildings surrounding the square. This celebration highlights both religious customs and cultural traditions that were significant during that era. "The Ommegang" serves as a testament to Belgium's rich history and its close ties with Spain during Habsburg rule. It reminds us how art can immortalize important events while providing us with a glimpse into centuries-old traditions still cherished today.
