Kelmes in West Flanders. The Saint-Pierre church: 13th century The monument aux morts. Discover in this church a monumental ceramic tile of 10/10 representing Saint Peter, made in the 1950s by Father Dom Bouton. We see the monk's trademark: a drawing with a black outline that he fills with flat surfaces of bright colours. The liturgical arrangement, i.e. the altar, the communion rail, the tabernacle and the side altars are made of earthenware and come from the workshops of Wisques. It is difficult to determine, in the absence of exact sources, who is the author of these works, knowing that the monks of the artist collaborate.
