Jacques, Knight Moeschal (1913–2004) was a Belgian architect and sculptor. He studied architecture and later trained as a sculptor at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Brussels. His signature works often featured large-scale concrete sculptures that were both abstract and geometric, reflecting his architectural background.
Moeschal's international recognition began with his design of the Arrow of Civil Engineering for Expo 58 in Brussels, a monumental structure symbolizing modern engineering. Following this success, he created numerous iconic sculptures displayed along highways in Belgium, such as the Signal of Zellik.[1][2]
