The International Exhibition: Belgian pulpit by Messrs. Goyers Brothers... 1862. Creator: Unknown
The International Exhibition: Belgian pulpit by Messrs. Goyers Brothers of Louvain, 1862. The Belgian carved pulpit...may be said to be fully an architectural structure, enriched with carved mouldings and subjects, and with the application of a small amount of coloured ornament. Around the body of the pulpit figure-subjects occur in full relief, the four panels being respectively filled by the Marriage of the Virgin, the Annunciation, the Greeting of Mary and Elizabeth, and the Flight into Egypt...The mouldings and capitals consist of foliage conventionally treated, and subordinated to its position in a manner which is very pleasing; and the little ornaments of the upper portions of the chief supports of the stairs, in intaglio, are exceedingly meritorious...The little central panel of the canopy has a blue ground, and a dove in relief hovers in front of it, and beautifully typifies the Holy Ghost, which descended in this form. Architecturally, this work is well set out; and, while there are a few features about it for which there is no necessity, as it is not to be exposed to the weather, it must yet be regarded as a beautiful and highly meritorious object'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the intricately carved Belgian pulpit, created by the Goyers Brothers of Louvain for The International Exhibition in 1862. The pulpit, an architectural marvel, is adorned with richly detailed mouldings and carvings, depicting scenes from the Bible. The four main panels feature significant moments in the life of the Virgin Mary, including the Marriage of the Virgin, the Annunciation, the Greeting of Mary and Elizabeth, and the Flight into Egypt. The mouldings and capitals of the pulpit are decorated with conventional foliage, harmoniously integrated into their positions. The upper portions of the pulpit's supports are adorned with small, intricate ornaments, adding to the overall beauty of the piece. The central panel of the canopy is a stunning blue ground, with a dove in relief hovering above it. The dove represents the Holy Ghost, which descended in this form. Architecturally, the pulpit is well-designed and, although there are a few non-essential features, it is a beautiful and highly meritorious work of art. The Belgian pulpit is more than just a functional object; it is a masterpiece that showcases the skill and artistry of the Goyers Brothers. This photograph provides a glimpse into the intricacies of the pulpit, allowing us to appreciate its beauty and historical significance.
