Summary
| Description |
English: The Church of Carolus Borromeus (Carolus Borromeuskerk) at the Hendrik Conscienceplein in Antwerp, is a former Jesuit Church in baroque style.
The church was designed by fathers Franciscus de Aguilon s.j. and Pieter Huyssens s.j. The church was bult between 1615 and 1521. First dedicated to Ignatius de Loyola, then in 1773, after the suppression of the Jesuit Order, renamed to the church of Charles Borromeo. Since 1803 it has been a parish church. The church is a typical product of the Counter-Reformation in which the Catholic Church tried to regain the confidence of the people with much pomp. The Jesuits were the spearhead of this movement. The facade of the church is inspired by Serlio's books on Architecture. The Church boasted numerous paintings and ceiling paintings by Rubens which were unfortunately destroyued during a fire in 1718. After the fire the church was given a more sober interior.Nederlands: De Carolus Borromeuskerk aan het Hendrik Conscienceplein in Antwerpen is een voormalige Jezuïetenkerk in barokke stijl. De kerk werd ontworpen door Franciscus de Aguilon en Pieter Huyssens. De kerk werd tussen 1615 en 1621 gebouwd.
Oorspronkelijk was de kerk gewijd aan Ignatius van Loyola, stichter van de Jezuïetenorde. Na het opheffen van de orde in 1773 werd de kerk opnieuw gewijd, ditmaal aan Carolus Borromeus. Na enige tijd gebruikt te zijn voor godsdienstonderwijs is het gebouw sinds 1803 in gebruik als parochiekerk. De kerk is een typisch product van de contrareformatie, waarin de katholieke kerk probeerde met pracht en praal het volk weer aan zich te binden en waarin de Jezuïeten een leidende rol speelden. De voorgevel is geïnspireerd op de boeken van o.a. Serlio. Aan de decoratie van de kerk werden belangrijke bijdragen geleverd door Pieter Paul Rubens. Tijdens een brand op 18 juli 1718 werd het interieur zwaar beschadigd en gingen onder andere 39 plafondschilderingen van Rubens verloren. Na de brand kreeg de kerk een nieuw, soberder interieur. |
