It is a burial vault with a figure of Jesus in brown ironstone.  It bears the inscription &#8216;Van Christus tot God&#8217; (From Christ to God).  Canon Professor Lemaire (1878-1954) provided the design.  The lecturer in architecture also designed the high altar of the Church of Our Lady. ,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-2 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#4f1677\">&#8220;According to tradition, white chrysanthemums were placed in front of the family vaults of loved ones on All Saints&#8217; Day. For the hidden daughter Maria Nijs, who lay a little further on (her grave lease has since expired), we also said a little prayer, but she received no flowerpot. Every year I asked who she had been. My father alluded, with a moment of embarrassment, to a relative by marriage without going into detail.&#8221; &#8211; Pieter<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"481\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/www.museum-aarschot.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/image-10.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-25259\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.museum-aarschot.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/image-10.png 481w, https:\/\/www.museum-aarschot.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/image-10-225x300.png 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 481px) 100vw, 481px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-3 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#4f1677\">The well-known artist Anne-Mie is not related.  &#8220;On our side of the family they are more concerned with inheritances than with art.&#8221; &#8211; Pieter  (photo: The Hague 2023)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"806\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.museum-aarschot.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/image-31-806x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-31248\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.museum-aarschot.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/image-31-806x1024.png 806w, https:\/\/www.museum-aarschot.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/image-31-236x300.png 236w, https:\/\/www.museum-aarschot.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/image-31-768x976.png 768w, https:\/\/www.museum-aarschot.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/image-31-1208x1536.png 1208w, https:\/\/www.museum-aarschot.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/image-31-973x1237.png 973w, https:\/\/www.museum-aarschot.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/image-31-508x646.png 508w, https:\/\/www.museum-aarschot.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/image-31.png 1320w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 806px) 100vw, 806px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-4 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#4f1677\"><strong>Cemetery in the Snow &#8211; oil on canvas &#8211; Caspar David Friedrich<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-link-color has-large-font-size wp-elements-5 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"color:#4f1677\"><strong>hodie mihi, cras tibi (today me, tomorrow you)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">IV  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.museum-aarschot.be\/en\/iv-martyr-of-aarschot\/\">Martyr of Aarschot<\/a> &gt;&gt;&gt;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&lt;&lt; II Patriarch One of the most remarkable tombs in the municipal cemetery of Aarschot is undoubtedly that of the patriarch, his wife, their seven unmarried daughters and&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":7490,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[39],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-47619","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-my-father"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.museum-aarschot.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/47619","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.museum-aarschot.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.museum-aarschot.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.museum-aarschot.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.museum-aarschot.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=47619"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.museum-aarschot.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/47619\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.museum-aarschot.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7490"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.museum-aarschot.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=47619"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.museum-aarschot.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=47619"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.museum-aarschot.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=47619"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
