Detail of 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 lower end one sees Saint Norbert (1080-1134) falling of his horse and converting to christianity.
