Zoutleeuw - Sint-Leonduskerk Interior
|
|
A walk round the interior of the church reveals the wealth of paintings, sculptures and other works of art of a religious character; only the more important can be mentioned here.
A multi-colored painted wooden sculpture showing "Maria in the Rosary" surrounded by angels hangs from the roof of the nave; it was carved in 1530.
In the right side-aisle the first feature of interest is the second chapel dedicated to St Anne. On the left is the St Anne altar of 1565 in the style of the Antwerp school with painted wings dating from the 17th C., and nearby a very fine little triptych with the Crucifixion scene in glass (1535). On the wall opposite there is a triptych of 1525 with a representation of the "Glorification of the Cross" by Spieken.
The adjoining chapel of St Hubertus contains a triptych of the "Sorrow of Our Lady" created by Pieter Aertsen in 1575.
Next comes the sacristy built in Flamboyant style, above the entrance to which is a Romanesque picture of Christ.
