EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite Pulpit, created between 1741-45 by the talented artist Laurent Delvaux. Located in the St. Bavo Cathedral in Ghent, Belgium, this remarkable piece of art is known as "The Chair of Verite". The intricate carving on this wooden pulpit depicts a scene from Genesis, specifically focusing on the Garden of Eden and its symbolic elements. The attention to detail is evident as we see a beautifully carved female figure representing Eve, holding an apple while standing next to a serpent. This portrayal alludes to the original sin committed by Adam and Eve when they succumbed to temptation. Surrounded by lush foliage and intertwined branches, this baroque sculpture captures the essence of Rococo style with its ornate design and delicate craftsmanship. A cross can be seen prominently displayed at the top of the pulpit, serving as a reminder of redemption through faith. Delvaux's masterful work transports us back in time, allowing us to appreciate both his artistic skill and his ability to convey profound biblical narratives through sculpture. As we gaze upon this photo print, we are reminded of humanity's eternal struggle between good and evil – symbolized here by apples from the Tree of Knowledge. This image is a testament to Delvaux's enduring legacy as one of Flemish art's most celebrated figures. Its timeless beauty continues to captivate viewers today just as it did centuries ago within St. Bavo Cathedral's hallowed walls.
