This is the third volume of Pt. 22 (Architecture and Architectural Sculpture) of the Corpus Rubenianum.

This volume deals with Rubens' drawings and oil sketches for the architecture and architectural sculptures of the Jesuit Church in Antwerp. The study is based on a manuscript by the late Frans Baudouin. Drawings in the catalogue are for the decoration of the relief sculpture or for freestanding statues intended for the exterior or interior of the church, only those for the Bell Tower relate to architectural compositions.
