 Pietre Dure top attributed to Giovanni Mynardo (Jean Ménard) French

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 503

Dieser monumentale Tisch verkörpert den Stil der römischen Hochrenaissance. Obwohl die Rollen der Künstler nicht geklärt sind, geht man davon aus, dass er von Jacopo Barozzi da Vignola (Italiener, 1507–73) entworfen wurde, der die superben Kulissen für die Staatsappartements des Palazzo Farnese in Rom erschuf, für die dieser prächtige Tisch angefertigt wurde. Sein Oberteil stammt von Jean Ménard, einem Franzosen, der zwischen 1525 und 1582 in Italien arbeitete, und ist eine Pietra dura (Hartstein) -Einlegearbeit aus diversen Marmoren und Halbedelsteinen, die die beiden mittigen „Fenster" aus ägyptischem Alabaster umrahmen. Die Marmorbeine wurden wahrscheinlich von Guglielmo della Porta (Italiener, ca. 1515–77) und Palasthandwerkern unter seiner Aufsicht angefertigt. Die heraldischen Lilien in der Verzierung sind Wappen der Familie Farnese und das auf den massiven Beinen gehört Kardinal Alessandro Farnese.
