statue of Sacred Heart of Jesus Christ by Aloïs De Beule, 1936

Statues like this apparently went up in Catholic villages all over the Low Countries between the wars — whole parishes would chip in to get their own. This one puts locals in the scene too: a farmer with his spade on one side, a mother with her child on the other.

Erisava: A whole village paid for this. Would anyone stop for it now?
