This image captures a section of the interior of the Cathedral of St. Michael and St. Gudula in Brussels, Belgium, specifically focusing on the elaborate Baroque pulpit carved by Hendrik Frans Verbrugghen in 1699. The central feature is a multi-tiered sculptural ensemble composed of white and dark marble, with gilded accents. At the apex, a large, robed, bearded figure of God the Father, sculpted in white marble, is seated amidst clouds and gilded rays, holding a golden orb in his left hand while his right hand is raised. Numerous smaller putti (cherubs) are carved within the clouds and rays, surrounding the figure of God. Directly below, a white marble statue of the Virgin Mary holding the Infant Jesus stands atop a large golden globe. Figures sculpted in white marble are visible below the golden globe, appearing to support it. To the right of the main sculptural structure, a tall, slender, fully gilded statue of a standing figure, interpreted as the Risen Christ or an angel, is positioned with uplifted arms, interacting with a horizontal dark rod. Below this golden figure, a sculpted figure supports a round, dark medallion containing a relief bust. The lower portion of the structure consists of contrasting white and dark marble elements, including fluted columns, pilasters, and decorative carvings. On the lower left, a dark panel features a carved coat of arms. A small, arched alcove on the bottom left of the pulpit base displays a gilded relief of a chalice emitting rays, with a single red votive candle positioned in front. The background on the far right reveals a segment of a stone wall with a stained-glass window, depicting figures partially visible in red and green garments. The overall scene is well-lit, highlighting the intricate details and varied textures of the marble and gilded elements. in Brussels, Belgium
