Description:
- To manifest the consolidation of his power over the Low Countries, the Emperor Charles VI of Austria staged triumphal entries for his representative into Brussels and Ghent in 1717. During six days of ceremonies and festivities, the main market place was transformed several times. This print (DR1982:0240) depicts the third transformation that was wrought on the Place au Vendredi: the statue of Charles V, ornamented with an illuminated monogramme of Charles VI, became the centerpiece of a temporary fenced compound for fireworks - a firework display layout standard for at least a century, and still in use today.
