This issue in our series Brussels, City of Art and History deals with The Human Passions, the marble bas-relief by Jef Lambeaux and the eponymous pavilion by Victor Horta. Three authors discuss this hidden gem in the Cinquantenaire Park, a unique collaboration between two Belgian sculpture and architecture grandmasters. Werner Adriaenssens (Royal Museums of Art and History/VUB) gives us an inside view of the bas-relief's creation, and more in particular the scandal surrounding it. Claudine Houbart (ULiège) describes the building history of the pavilion, how soon it was consigned to oblivion and the far-reaching transformations that were thought up for it, but never implemented. Lastly, André Demesmaeker (Buildings Authority) tells us about the successful restoration works from 2012 until 2014, which have restored the bas-relief and pavilion to their former glory.

Le pavillon des Passions humaines, conçu par Victor Horta, est un joyau discret du parc du Cinquantenaire. Le petit temple d’inspiration classique abrite l’impressionnant relief en marbre de Jef Lambeaux, œuvre à laquelle le pavillon doit son nom. L’ensemble est le résultat d’une collaboration unique mais tumultueuse entre deux maîtres de la sculpture et de l’architecture belges. Les Passions humaines ont d’emblée été un objet de scandale. Après son ouverture en 1910, le pavillon a été relégué à l’arrière-plan et est tombé dans l’oubli pendant de très longues années. Un moment même, le bâtiment ainsi que son contenu sembla promis au même destin funeste que certaines autres œuvres de Horta. Cependant, à la fin du XXe siècle, l’œuvre put être préservée d’une transformation irréversible. Une restauration exemplaire, réalisée en 2012-2014, a permis de redonner au pavillon et au relief toute leur splendeur.
