About the Item
Initially, the Sisters Maricolen (consecrated to the Holy Mary) did not form a recognized monastic order with vows. The members were engaged in manual labour, education and care for the sick. The Maricolen community of Leuven was founded in 1689. Their residence became the house ‘Emmaüs’, located at the Capucijnenvoer, adjacent to the Capuchin Monastery (location of the current Botanical Garden). The sculpture of Christ lying in his tomb with a white perizonium around his loins was once placed in the burial chapel of the Maricolen.

- Anonym, ca. 1550, Judith, Polychromed AlabasterLocated in brussel, BEThe Old Testament character Judith originally held the severed head of the Assyrian army commander Holofernes in her left hand. In her missing right hand, she held the sword with which she beheaded him. Freestanding parts of sculptures – such as arms – are vulnerable to fractures. That explains why they didn’t survive the test of time. The sculpture is carved in alabaster and painted. Typical for the renaissance, is Judith’s clothing, which is inspired by a Roman soldier’s outfit with breastplate. Her boots refer somewhat to the Roman shin leg protectors. Mechelen was an important 16th-century center for alabaster carving in the Southern Netherlands. When the demand for carved wooden altarpieces fell sharply around the middle of the 16th century, many woodcarvers from Mechelen were out of work. It was probably they who retrained themselves to ‘antycksnijders’ (=carvers who worked in the style of Classical Antiquity), ‘cleynstekers’ (= small size image cutters) and ‘albastsnijders’ (=alabaster cutters). During the years 1530-1565, Mechelen was also able to profit from the increasing market for luxury goods in Antwerp. It was a major distribution hub at the time. Alabaster carvers mainly manufactured small reliefs and house altars, individual statuettes seem – based on the scarcely preserved examples – never have been produced on a large scale. Most freestanding sculptures were part of epitaphs or placed in the niches of superstructures of altarpieces. Some small alabaster figurines were intended as ornamental objects for ‘Kunstkammer’. One of the artists who manufactured such precious figurines, was Gert van Egen (Mechelen, ca. 1550-Helsingør, 1612). He who worked for some time in the studio of Cornelis De Vriendt...Category

- 17th C Stone statue of Saint Erasmus or Saint ElmoLocated in brussel, BESaint Erasmus or Saint Elmo (Antioch, ca. 240 – Formia, 303) was an Italian bishop and patron saint of the sailors. His attribute was the capstan, a winch on which the anchor chains were rolled up. He died as a martyr for his faith, and his bones were transferred to Gaeta in the 9th century, where they are kept in the cathedral to this day. The electric phenomenon of Saint Elmus fire is named after Saint Erasmus and the 16th C humanist Desiderius Erasmus. Little is known with certainty about Saint Erasmus' life. However, many legends may have been passed on orally until - no older writings are known with certainty. His birthplace was in present-day Syria. However, the persecution of Christians under Emperor Diocletian forced him to flee to Mount Lebanon...Category
