Memorial of Bishop Marius Ambrose Capello new21/unknow artist-822322.jpg Pintura Identificación:: 64176 |
1676 White an black marble O.-L. Vrouwekathedraal, Antwerp Bishop Capello died in 1676, leaving his possessions to the poor of Antwerp. The city almoners commissioned this memorial that same year. The monument was designed specifically for the location in the Antwerp Cathedral where the almoners used to have their 'counter', from which alms were dispensed to the poor. The impression created, therefore, was that their benefactor had risen from the grave to see that his will was being carried out properly. The presentation of the exalted bishop was both an exhortation to charity and an eternal tribute. The splendid mausoleum of the bishop, sculpted by Artus Quellin the Younger, stands in one of the choir chapels of the same Cathedral. , Artist: VERBRUGGEN, Hendrick Frans , Memorial of Bishop Marius Ambrose Capello , 1651-1700 , Flemish , sculpture , religious | ||
