On April 17, 1635, the city government of Antwerp mounted a spectacular urban festival to welcome its new ruler, the Cardinal-Infante Ferdinand, brother of King Philip IV of Spain. Entering the city, he passed nine temporary arches and stages designed by the Flemish painter Peter Paul Rubens to flatter the new governor and impress on him the concerns of the city. This interdisciplinary symposium will consider the art, architecture, music, performances, and festival books associated with the 1635 entry. Organized by Anna Knaap, Theodore Rousseau Postdoctoral Fellow in the Department of Paintings, Sculpture and Decorative Arts, in conjunction with the temporary installation Rubens and the Baroque Festival, on view March 19–August 29, 2010 at the Harvard Art Museum/Arthur M. Sackler Museum.

Paul Getty Museum. Details at www.harvardartmuseum.org.
