In 1635–40, when Rubens was ill from gout, Jordaens was commissioned to use Rubens' sketches, and work on the decorations for the triumphal entry of the Cardinal-Infante Ferdinand, the new Governor of the Spanish Netherlands, for his arrival in Antwerp in 1635. Although the works are lost, Jordaens was commissioned in 1639–40 by Charles I of England to finish decorating the Queen's House at Greenwich, a commission which was originally given to Rubens, who was unable to execute due to his poor health.
