A bronze sculpture titled "The Calvary" by Rik Poot (1984) is centrally depicted within the Cathedral of St. Michael and St. Gudula in Brussels, Belgium. The sculpture features a large, textured bronze hand supporting a hollow, fractured globe from which multiple human figures emerge and struggle to climb. At the top of the globe, an emaciated figure is affixed to a cross-like structure, extending its arms upwards. Below this, various figures, rendered in a dynamic, rugged style, are shown ascending or interacting with the globe: one figure in a hat climbs from the left, another pulls itself up from the right, and a central figure reaches towards the uppermost figure. The cathedral interior forms the background, characterized by massive stone pillars, groined vaults, and a brightly lit arched window high above. To the left, a vibrant stained-glass window with religious scenes and an ornate hanging tapestry are visible. A modern black rectangular speaker is mounted on a pillar to the right of the sculpture.
