Kabinett auf Ständer

Attributed to Jan van Mekeren Dutch

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 551

Dieses Kabinett ist das kleinste, aber bildhafteste der dem Tischler Jan van Mekeren zugeschriebenen Exemplare, der sich auf die Herstellung luxuriöser Marketeriemöbel für die Amsterdamer Elite spezialisiert hatte. Das Kabinett ruht auf einem offenen Gestell und verfügt über einen einfachen, schatullenhaften Oberbau, der mit großen Bouquets exquisiter Blumen verziert ist. Durch die kluge Verwendung von beispielsweise hellgelbem Holz, wie Berberitze, für die Narzissen und durch Verstärkung der fast weißen Stechpalme mit natürlichen, aber nicht sehr haltbaren Farben, erreichte Van Mekeren eine reiche und naturalistische Farbpalette, die die zeitgenössischer Stillleben wiedergibt.
