The Citizens of Antwerp bring back to Saint Norbert the Monstrance and other Sacred Vessels that they had hidden from Tankelin, 1630
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This oil on canvas painting by Cornelis de Vos depicts a significant moment in the history of Antwerp. The scene portrays Bishop Norbert accompanied by monks as they return the precious Monstrance and other Sacred Vessels to Saint Norbert. These religious artifacts were hidden from the heretic Tankelin during a tumultuous period in 1630. The composition is rich with symbolism and detail. At Bishop Norbert's feet lies Tankhelm, representing the defeated heresy that threatened the city's faith. On the right side, we see members of the Snoeck family kneeling and standing in tribute, highlighting their devotion to their religious beliefs. In the background, St. Michael's Abbey and the Tower of Cathedral of Antwerp provide a majestic cityscape setting for this important event. The artist skillfully captures both architectural grandeur and human emotions through his brushstrokes. Norbert of Xanten, also known as Norbert Gennep, was not only a bishop but also an esteemed founder of Premonstratensian order – canons regular who dedicated themselves to serving God faithfully. This painting serves as a testament to Antwerp's unwavering commitment to its religious heritage amidst challenging times. It reminds us of how art can capture historical moments while celebrating spirituality and inspiring devotion among believers for generations to come.
