DescriptionMechelen St Rombouts Pulpit detail 02.JPG
Nederlands: Detail van de monumentale preekstoel van de Sint-Romboutskathedraal in Mechelen. De preekstoel werd door Michiel Vervoort (1667-1737) uit Antwerpen in 1721-1723 gebeeldhouwd voor de kloosterkerk van de Norbertinessen van Leliëndael (Bruul, huidige jezuietenkerk).
Na de Franse revolutie werd hij in 1809 naar de kathedraal gebracht en door Jan-Frans van Geel (1756-1830) om een zuil weer opgebouwd.
Onderaan wordt de heilige Norbertus (1080-1134) van zijn paard geslingerd en bekeert hij zich.
