Narrative:
- Church of St. Paul at Antwerp :
This Late Gothic church was begun in 1517 and completed in 1639, and is
surmounted by a Baroque bell tower (1680). Baroque furnishings and
beautiful 17C wooden panels on the confessionals, which are framed by
huge expressive figures, richly embellish the majestic interior.
Statues surround the chancel, which is narrower than the nave, giving
an impression of depth further accentuated by the elevated position of
the monumental marble altarpiece. In the north aisle paintings from the
Rubens' school depict the Mysteries of the Rosary. This series of works
includes one by Rubens himself depicting the Flagellation, a powerful
painting in muted colours. There are two other works by Rubens in the
transept, dating from about 1609: Adoration of the Shepherds (north
transept) and Dispute on the Nature of the Holy Sacrament (south
transept).
