Summary

Description
Nederlands: De Sint-Pieters- en Pauluskerk is een voormalige Jezuïetenkerk op de Veemarkt in Mechelen. De preekstoel, een werk van Hendrik Frans Verbruggen (ca.1700) toont in de vorm van allegorische figuren de verspreiding van het Geloof over vier werelddelen.

De voet is een wereldbol die op kruipdieren rust; op de bol zitten de vier toen bekende werelddelen, in de gedaante van personen en kenmerkende dieren

  • Amerika: de indiaan, schildpad en slang
  • Europa: de jonge vrouw met de hoorn des overvloeds, een scepter, een

boek en een hinde

  • Azië, de vrouw met een tulband en de luipaard
  • Afrika, de zwarte bedekt met olifantenhuid, en de krokodil
