The Triumphal Chariot of Kallo by Peter Paul Rubens (1577-1640) oil on panel, 1638 The Dutch Stadtholder Frederick Henry tried to capture the city of Antwerp in 1538. This attempt failed miserably; the Spanish, who ruled the southern Netherlands, slaughtered his troops in cold blood near the village of Kallo. This large oil sketch by the great Flemish artist Rubens is a masterfully painted construction plan - complete with a ground plan - for a triumphal chariot, which was meant to celebrate this victory.
