Notes In the Jesuit community of Bruges (Belgium) an unknown painting by the Flemish artist Cornelis Schut (1597-1655) has been discovered, showing ‘Francis Xavier baptizing the Indians’. The quite spectacular and colourful oil painting on linen, measuring 104 x 82 cm., turns out to be the bozzetto (preparatory study) of an altar piece from 1648, that the Jesuits in Madrid had ordered for their Francis Xavier church (now the cathedral of San Isidro), to be opened in 1651. The famous flower painter Jesuit brother Daniel Seghers (1590-1661), with whom Schut had collaborated in many paintings, acted as intermediary for the payment and transport. The painting was later moved to the stairwell of the Colegio Imperial next to the church. After the suppression of the Society the painting ended up in the parish church of Santa Cruz del Retamar, a village at the outskirts of Madrid. There it was destroyed during the Spanish civil war.
