Summary edit

Description
English: The monumental pulpit of St-Rumbold's Cathedral in Mechelen (Belgium). The pulpit was carved by the Antwerp artist Michiel Vervoort (1667-1737) in 1721-1723 for the cionvent church of the sisters of Norbertus of Leliëndaal (now a jesuit church in the main street Bruul).

After the French Revolution the pulpit was installed in the cathedral and built around a column by Jan-Frans van Geel (1756-1830). At the top, to the right one can see the Fall of man, to the left Salvation. At the lower end one sees Saint Norbert (1080-1134) falling of his horse and converting to christianity.

The massive construction is particularly known for its depiction of the Garden of Eden with mant animals: a pelican, a salamander, a snake, a snail and a frog. These fine carvings are the work of Theodoor Verhaegen.
Nederlands: De monumentale preekstoel van de Sint-Romboutskathedraal in Mechelen. De preekstoel werd door Michiel Vervoort (1667-1737) uit Antwerpen in 1721-1723 gebeeldhouwd voor de kloosterkerk van de norbertinessen van Leliëndael (Bruul, huidige jezuietenkerk).

Na de Franse revolutie werd hij in 1809 naar de kathedraal gebracht en door Jan-Frans van Geel (1756-1830) om een zuil weer opgebouwd. Rechts bovenaan wordt de Zondeval en links de Verlossing uitgebeeld. Onderaan wordt de heilige Norbertus (1080-1134) van zijn paard geslingerd en bekeert hij zich.

De grootse constructie in massief eikehout staat vooral bekend om de voorstelling van het Aards Paradijs met zijn verschillende dieren: pelikaan, salamander, eekhorentje, slang, huisjesslak en kikker. Ook het wondermooie engeltje aan de trap is een fijne vondst van de kunstenaar. Deze fijne insnijdingen zijn het werk van de Mechelse beeldhouwer Theodoor Verhaegen.
