In the capital of Wallonia (the French speaking southern part of Belgium) you can find this amazing interior in Flemish baroque style of the Saint-Lupus Church (Église Saint-Loup).
It is one of the most important Baroque churches in Belgium and was built by the Jesuits between 1621 and 1645. Initially it was called Saint Ignatius Church (église Saint-Ignace), and served the adjacent Jesuit college. Today, this church is also used for concerts in addition to worship services.
After their arrival in the 17th century, the Jesuits took over a small college which they enlarged. Afterwards they built a church adjacent to this college, which was dedicated to Saint Ignatius, the founder of the Jesuit order. Pieter Huyssens (° Bruges, 1577, † Bruges, 6-6-1637), a Flemish Jesuit, architect and Baroque master, designed this church. Nevertheless, he did not live to see its completion: even at the start of the construction works, there appeared to be insufficient funds for immediate completion. Although the rector of the college regularly called for donations, the activities slowed down: they were forced to be spread over the period from 1621 to 1641. The architect himself died earlier: in 1637. After the completion of the church, it was finally consacrated.

"A chi gli ricordava che secondo Sartre Camus era di destra, pare che Sciascia una volta abbia risposto: “e allora vuol dire che è meglio la destra”. Credo si possa affermare che su certi temi Sartre ha scritto pagine di sottile intelligenza psicologica, e Camus pagine un po’ retoriche; che su altri temi, invece, Camus ha scritto pagine limpide e coraggiose, mentre Sartre, credendo di fare surf sull’onda più alta della Storia, ne ha giustificato grevemente e inutilmente la crudeltà. Ma il punto qui non è il giudizio sui due intellettuali francesi. Quello che importa, nell’aneddoto sciasciano, è l’alzata di spalle da parte di uno scrittore che certo con la destra non aveva nulla da spartire, dato che era nato alla coscienza civile difendendo i poveri dai soprusi dei “galantuomini”, e aveva speso la vita a riabilitare le vittime inermi del carcere, della tortura, dell’inquisizione. Ma ecco che siamo al cuore del problema: l’inquisizione, di cui purtroppo una parte della sinistra è stata l’erede. E dove non ha potuto adottarne le pratiche totalitarie, si è servita del loro surrogato più tipico: il ricatto. Fuori dalla trama del “Contesto”, innumerevoli Galano e innumerevoli Nocio hanno continuato ad affollare lo spazio pubblico del nostro Paese; e la loro frase preferita, quando si trattava e si tratta di squalificare i ragionamenti onesti ma sgraditi, è rimasta sempre la stessa: “guarda che così ti dimostri reazionario, guarda che così fai il gioco di…” (la destra, il capitale, i fascisti, i colonialisti, eccetera). Storditi da questa accusa viscida, quanti intellettuali della vecchia, della nuova o della declinante sinistra non si sono rassegnati subito alla posizione dell’interrogato che deve discolparsi, mettere le mani avanti, escogitare cavilli dialettici? Ma se si comincia così, al ricatto e all’umiliazione del pensiero non c’è mai fine: lo dimostra, a livello alto, la storia di un Fortini, la prigione in cui è rimasto chiuso suo malgrado. Invece Sciascia rifiuta di essere ricattato. “E allora vuol dire che è meglio la destra”, ribatte con la sua ironia di siciliano. Ovvero: ma che, credete di farmi paura, col vostro babau da preti? E’ un istinto, il suo: l’istinto della libertà. E nel caso lo esprime in poche parole - senza nemmeno bisogno di avvertire, come farà citando il suo Savinio durante le polemiche antimafia, che le proteste degli imbecilli “cadranno ai piedi della mia gelida indifferenza”. Purtroppo non abbiamo ancora imparato granché da questo Sciascia."

Mechelen was from the late middle ages till the baroque period a centre of woodsculpting. So in this city you can find many top noch furnitures, wood carvings and woodsculptures. Here i present to you the pulpit of the Saint-Peter-and-Paul church (Sint-Pieter-en-Pauluskerk) in Mechelen, Belgium.
The Saint Peter and Paul Church is a former Jesuit church on the Veemarkt in Mechelen. The pulpit, a work by Hendrik Frans Verbruggen (ca. 1700), shows in the form of allegorical figures the spread of the Faith across four continents by the Jesuit Francis Xavier.
The base is a globe resting on crawlers; The globe contains the four then known continents, in the form of persons and characteristic animals:
America: the Indian, turtle and snake
Europa: the young woman with the horn of abundance (cornucopia), a sceptre, a book and a doe
Asia: the woman with a turban and the leopard
Africa: the black one covered with elephant skin, and the crocodile.
Some background on the sculptor Hendrik Frans Verbruggen:
He was born into a family that produced a number of prominent sculptors in the 17th and 18th centuries who were mainly active in Antwerp. His father, the sculptor Pieter Verbruggen, was one of the most important representatives of the Flemish High Baroque in sculpture. The father had been apprenticed to Erasmus Quellinus I, who himself was the founder of a prominent family of sculptors. The father was married to the daughter of his teacher Erasmus Quellinus. From this marriage Hendrik Frans Verbruggen was born. His brother Pieter Verbruggen also became a sculptor and worked in his father's studio.
He was initially trained by his father. However, he is said to have started his career with the book illuminator Jan Ruyselinck. It cannot be ruled out that after his education, like his brother Pieter, he first made a trip to Italy. This journey is not documented. The influence of the Italian sculptor Gianlorenzo Bernini on his work could also be explained by the fact that he used drawings after Bernini's works and antique sculptures that his brother made in Rome as a source of inspiration.
He became a master sculptor with the Antwerp Guild of Saint Luke in 1682. That year he married Susanna Verhulst. He became dean of the Guild of Saint Luke in 1689. In 1713 he went bankrupt, but this did not prevent him from completing existing assignments.
