Armario sobre base

Attributed to Jan van Mekeren Dutch

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 551

Este armario es el más pequeño pero el más pictórico de los atribuidos a Jan van Mekeren, ebanista que se especializó en la producción de lujoso mobiliario de marquetería para la elite de Ámsterdam. Descansa sobre una base con patas y tiene una superestructura sencilla, en forma de caja, adornada con grandes ramilletes de flores exquisitas. Van Mekeren escogió con acierto el agracejo, madera de un fuerte tono amarillo, para los narcisos; y tiñó el acebo casi blanco con tintes naturales, aunque no muy duraderos, logrando así una rica paleta naturalista que imita las naturalezas muertas de la época pintadas al óleo.
