caption_attribution_description: Nederlands: Beeld 'De opvoeding van de Heilige Maagd door de Heilige Anna', kopie naar een origineel van Hiëronymus Duquesnoy de Jonge, in de St-Annakapel. De Magdalenakerk werd opgericht in de 13de eeuw en in de 15de eeuw in gotische stijl heropgebouwd., Ze had te leiden onder het bombardement van 1695 en diende gerestaureerd te worden.De klokkentoren dateert uit 1697. In 1841 werd de Magdalenakerk toevertrouwd aan de Paters Redemptoristen die zich in België kwamen vestigen. In 1902 heeft de Staat de kerk en het klooster onteigend met het oog op de aanleg van de Noord-Zuidverbinding. Na de tweede wereldoorlog leek de kapel voor de sloop bestemd. Groot was dan ook ieders verrassing toen ze in 1957 uiteindelijk toch gered werd en architect Simon Brigode belast werd met de restauratie en het verbinden ervan met de gevel van de voormalige Sint-Annakapel in Brabantse barok, die dateert uit 1665.English: Statue of the 'Education of the Holy Virgin by Saint Anne', copy after an original work of Jerôme Duquesnoy (II) in the wall of the St-Anna Chapel. The Saint Mary Magdalene Church in Brussels dates back to the 13th century
context_page_description: Jerôme Duquesnoy (II) or Hieronymus Duquesnoy (II) or the Younger was a Flemish architect and sculptor who was particularly accomplished in portraits. He played an important role in the introduction of the Baroque style in Northern European sculpture.
context_section_description: Jerôme travelled to join his older brother in Rome in 1621. During Anthony van Dyck’s period of residence in Rome, the brothers became friends with him and van Dyck painted their portraits. Jerôme worked with his brother on the baldacchino for Saint Peter's in Rome as is testified by a payment in his own name for that work received in 1627. There is no documentation on Jérôme's movements between 1627 and 1641. The assumption has been that the brothers had a falling out and split ways after which Jerôme went to work primarily in Spain, where he received court commissions, and Portugal. None of his works from that period have been traced. An alternative view of the lack of details on Jérôme's whereabouts and residence in Spain between 1627 and 1641 holds that Jérôme had in fact not left Rome for a long period of time but had been working inside the workshop of his brother in Rome assisting him with his various commissions. The trip to Spain would therefore have only been rather brief and occurred probably in the year 1640. When in 1641 Jérôme is documented as working in the workshop of the Flemish goldsmith Andreas Ghysels in Florence, he may have been doing so in the execution of designs of his brother.
  After a stay of nine months in Florence, Duquesnoy returned to Rome. When François left on a trip to France at the invitation of the French king to become the director of a yet to be established department of painting and sculpture called ‘Académie Royale de Peinture et de Sculpture’, Jerôme accompanied him. During the trip François died on 12 July 1643 in Livorno of an illness from which he had already been suffering before he set out.
