Lady Chapel, Sint-Carolus-Borromeuskerk, Antwerp

The Lady Chapel, built between 1622 and 1625 on the south side, also has a markedly Italian stamp. In the interior we are immediately struck by the open-work barrel vault, resting on pendentives, and the curving style which displays a strong dynamic accent.
