Nello Daas aspires to be an artist, like his idol, Peter Paul Rubens, whose painting he "visits" for inspiration in Antwerp Cathedral. The painting Nello sees in the film is Rubens' triptych, "The Descent from the Cross" (1612-1614). Other Rubens paintings in Antwerp Cathedral include "The Elevation (Raising) of the Cross" (1610-1611), also a triptych; and "The Assumption of the Virgin Mary" (1626), the Cathedral's altarpiece.
