In 1549, Prince Philip of Spain made his entry into Antwerp together with his father,
Emperor Charles V. For this occasion the rich city of commerce was transformed into
a large theatrical space with triumphal arches and 'tableaux vivants' as stage settings.
The citizens and the princes acted as actors in a splendid parade, a battle array
of four thousand participants, impressive tournaments and a huge firework display.
This resulted in one of the most expensive and impressive festivities of the early
modern period. The organizing municipality drew on various theatrical genres in an
effort to bring about a renewal in the existing power relations between the Habsburg
rulers and themselves, as well as the relations of the rulers with the population.
Exactly how the city and the monarch were depicted was illustrative of the precious
balance of power between the Habsburgs and the city fathers and of both parties toward
their respective subjects
