Statue of Lucifer Cathédrale Saint-Paul , located in Leige Liège is about 60 miles east of Brussels in the French speaking part of Belgium, not far from the borders with Germany and the Netherlands. The Cathedral of St. Paul is in the center of the city, a few blocks from the Meuse River. A marble Lucifer hides behind the pulpit of this Gothic cathedral. Photographer and Description Courtesy, Philippe Herbet © Cathédrale de Liège Supposed to symbolize "the Triumph of Religion on the Genius of Evil", the pulpit made by Guillaume Geefs for St. Paul's Cathedral includes causing a representation of the genius of evil from the chisel of Joseph Geefs (work today ' hui preserved at the Royal Museums of Fine Arts of Belgium). Established in 1843, this statue does not satisfy the Cathedral Church Council. The newspapers of the time reported that "The hell there is too sublime" (quoted by VAN LENNEP, after Emancipation, August 4, 1844) and that it may distract young parishioners. To replace the work, the Church Council passes control to Guillaume Geefs a new version of the Genius of evil, installed in the back of the chair in 1848. Like his brother, Guillaume Geefs represents the devil in the guise a young man sitting on a rock, wearing a simple cloth and provided with a large pair of bat wings. His fallen angel is more consistent with the satanic imagery. Chained to the rock, he holds his head to keep out the divine punishment. With his left hand, he hugged a crown and a broken scepter. Two small horns emerge tousled hair. His face contorted expressed remorse and despair. At his feet, hooked nails, are the forbidden fruit and part of the scepter. The work of Guillaume Geefs succession of neoclassicism by his aesthetic. It also relates to the Romantic movement: representing the fallen angel in the guise of an attractive man, the artist evokes the theme of the beauty of the devil. According to Jacques Van Lennep, the work is inspired by the poem or Eloa Sister Angels Alfred de Vigny. Soo Yang Geuzaine and Alexia Creusen
