See also:HUBERT (HUCBERTUS, HUGBERTUS), ST (d. 727) , See also:bishop of See also:Liege, whose festival is celebrated ,on the 3rd of See also:November . The See also:Bollandists have published seven different lives of the See also:saint . The first is the only one of any value, and is the See also:work of a contemporary . Unfortunately, it is very sparing of details . In it we see that See also:Hubert in 708 succeeded See also:Lambert in the see of Maestricht (Tongres), and that he erected a See also:basilica to his memory . In 825 Hubert's remains were removed to a See also:Benedictine See also:cloister in the See also:Ardennes, which thenceforth See also:bore his name (St Hubert, See also:province of See also:Luxemburg, See also:Belgium), and ultimately became a considerable resort of pilgrims . The later legends (Bibliotheca hagiographica See also:latina, nos . 3994-4002) are devoid of authority . One of them relates, probably following the See also:legend of St Eustace, the See also:miracle of the See also:conversion of St Hubert . This conversion, represented as having been brought about while he was See also:hunting on See also:Good See also:Friday by a miraculous See also:appearance of a See also:stag bearing between his horns a See also:cross or crucifix surrounded with rays of See also:light, has frequently been made the subject of See also:artistic treatment . He is the See also:patron of hunters, and is also invoked in cases of See also:hydrophobia . Several orders of See also:knighthood have been under his See also:protection; among these may be mentioned the Bavarian, the Bohemian and that of the electorate of See also:Cologne .

Murals and other decorative features in the Basilica were painted by Charles-Joseph Redoute, father of Pirre-Joseph Redoute, probably the most famous floral artist of all time. The family lived close to the Basilica. SOURCE - "The Man Who Painted Roses" by Antonia Ridge, Faber & Faber, 1974
