What the museum label doesn't tell you
Look at the top center: that gilded cartouche is empty. Not an oversight - a deliberate gap. Around 1625 Rubens painted this as a small-scale model for a tapestry meant for the Descalzas Reales convent, and the title, 'ECCLESIAE TRIVMPHVS', would be added later by weavers in Brussels, not by him. Meanwhile, below, the chariot wheels crush Discord and Hatred without mercy, while the victory slogan above doesn't even exist yet. The image triumphs before the words do. Isn't it strange that the Counter-Reformation's most effective propaganda left its headline blank?
