The Counter Reformation |
The revalorization of the clerestory and the
reconstruction of the tracery in the side chapels have reduced the available
wall space. Choices will have to be made among the numerous paintings of
variable quality.

The scenes that are part of the altars do not
pose any problem. As far as the other canvasses are concerned, it will
probably be the works by renowned artists such as Nicolaas de Liemacker,
Antoon van den Heuvel, Jan van Cleef, Gillis Le Plat, Erasmus Quellin and
J.A Marienhof, a pupil of Teniers that will be maintained. These paintings
were accommodated in the Groot Seminarie in 1956 and can be exhibited
again together with the altars of which they are a part. Some of the works
had been altered to fit into a new context, others show severe gaps and
many need re-canvassing; most wedge frames need to be replaced to stretch
the canvas.
