# The Triumphal Car of Kallo [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [RUBENS, Peter Paul]() - Date: 1601-1650 - Technique: Oil on panel, 103 x 71 cm ## Commentary Rubens continued to carry out large-scale commissions until the end of his life. In 1638 the Antwerp city authorities ordered a triumphal car which was to be drawn ceremonially through the city. The commission was prompted by the victory of the Infante Ferdinand over the armies of the United Provinces of the Netherlands at Kallo. The Triumphal Car of Kallo is a brilliant example of Rubens' confident and improvisational sketching technique. ## Related artworks - [A Forest at Dawn with a Deer Hunt]() - [Adoration of the Magi]() - [Adoration of the Magi]() - [Adoration of the Magi]() - [Adoration of the Shepherds]() - [Adoration of the Shepherds]() - [Albert and Nicolaas Rubens]() - [Alfonso d'Este, Duke of Ferrara]() - [Allegorical Glorification of King James I]() - [Allegorical Glorification of King James I]() - [Allegorical Glorification of King James I]() - [Allegorical Glorification of King James I]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
