102 Route 10. BRUSSELS. Upper Town:

The scoffers were so terrified by their miraculous bleeding that they deter-
mined to restore them; but their crime was denounced and expiated by
death. The 5th window, above the altar, represents Charles V. and his
consort Isabella of Portugal, with the Adoration of the Lamb and the Sa-
cred Hosts at the top. This and the next were executed in {848 by Ca-
pronnier in the style of the first four windows, to replace the older ones
which had been destroyed.

The first four windows of the CHAPEL oF NotRe-Dame-DE-DELIVRANCE
(S. side; now named Chapelle de Wotie-Dame-de-Lourdes), executed in 1656
by J. de Labarre of Antwerp, from designs by Theod. van Thulden, are ex-
cellent examples of 17th cent. art (school of Rubens). They represent
episodes from the life of the Virgin, with portraits of Archduke Leopold
(d. 1662), Archduke Albert (d. 1621), and the Archduchess Isabella Clara
Eugenia (d. 1633); then Emp. Ferdinand II. (d. 1658) and Leopold I. (4.
1705). The two other windows are by Capronnier. This chapel is open
all day, and may be entered from the Place outside the church. It con-
tains a *Monument in marble, by W. Geefs, to Count Frederick de Mérode,
who fell in a skirmish with the Dutch at Berchem in 1830. Above it,
the Assumption, a large modern picture by Wavez. This chapel con-
tains also a marble monument to Count Félix de Mérode (d. 1857), an elder
brother of the last-named, a well-known Belgian statesman, by @. A. Fraikin,
and one to the Spanish general Count Isenburg-Grenzau (d. 1664).

The five stained-glass windows of the Cuorr, dating from the middle
of the 16th cent. (about 1545), contain portraits of Maximilian of Austria
and his queen Mary of Burgundy; their son Philippe le Bel and his queen
Johanna of Castile; Emp. Charles V. and Ferdinand I., sons of the latter;
Philip Il., son of Charles V., with his first wife, Maria of Portugal; Phili-
bert, Duke of Savoy, and Margaret of Austria. — Below is the monument
of Duke John II. of Brabant (d. 1312) and his duchess Margaret of York, in
black marble, with a recumbent lion in gilded copper; opposite to it, the
monument, with recumbent figure, of Archduke Ernest (d. 1595), brother of
Emp. Rudolph IJ. and stadtholder of the Netherlands. Both monuments
were erected by Archduke Albert (brother of Ernest) in 1610. — The hi
altar, in embossed and enamelled copper, is modern. At high festivals
and during one week in July (beginning with the Sun. after July 13th)
the choir is hung with six valuable tapestries by Van der Borght of Brussels
(1785), representing the Legend of the Hosts (p. 101).

The Amputatory contains stained-glass windows in the style of the
18th cent., executed by Capronnier in 1879; the subjects are taken from
Biblical history. —In the rococo Chapel of the Magdalen behind the high-
altar is an altar from the Abbaye de la Cambre (p. 142). The stained glass,
bearing the arms of the Mérode family and figures of saints, is by Ca-
pronnier (1843). t

Transerr. *Stained glass: Charles V. and his queen, with their
patron-saints (N.; 1537); Louis III. of Hungary and his queen, by Bernard
van Orley (S.; 1538).

; Nayr. Four of the massive statues of the Apostles ({7th cent.) on the
pillars of the nave (Paul, Bartholomew, Thomas, Matthew) are by Jer.
Duquesnoy; three others (John, Andrew, Thaddeus) are by L. Faid’herbve.
The * Pulpit, originally in the church of the Jesuits at Louvain, was ex-
ecuted in 1699 by the celebrated Verbruggen. It is a representation in
carved wood of the Expulsion from Paradise; above is the Virgin with
the Child, who crushes the head of the serpent with the cross. The
railing, with all kinds of animals, symbolizing the vices of mankind, is
by Vanderhaegen (1780). — The baroque confessionals in the aisles are by
Van Delen (18th cent.); in the S. aisle is the monument of Canon Triest
(d. 1846), noted at Brussels for his benevolence, by Hug. Simonis; in the
N. aisle is a marble monument to Count Cornet de Ways-Ruart, by Gee/s
(1872). ice The modern stained glass in the aisles is all by Capronnie.
The window of the W. Portal, a Last Judgment by F. Floris, remark-

able for the crowd of figures it contains, was presented in 1528 by Eberhard
von der Marek, Bishop of Liége, but has been repeatedly restored.
