## Commentary

The Jesuit church in Bruges, dedicated to St Walburga and designed in 1619, but not started until 1628, has a semi-circular chancel, and its interior is enlivened by the projecting and receding entablature, with its many ledges and groves. Its proportions still point towards the style of the Gesù in Rome, but in his greater emphasis on verticality and particularly in the stronger sculptural treatment of the round pilasters Huyssens seems to have had Francart&#39;s innovative ideas in mind.
