Retrato de un monje cartujo

Petrus Christus Netherlandish
1446
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 605
Petrus Christus era uno de los principales pintores de Brujas en los años posteriores a la muerte de Jan van Eyck en 1441. Este retrato es la primera de sus obras fechadas y una de las más exquisitas salidas de su pincel. En vez de pintar la figura sobre un fondo plano de color neutro, práctica habitual en aquel entonces, Christus la coloca en una esquina de lo que parece ser una habitación. El efecto de verosimilitud se acentúa con un marco en trampantojo, simulando el alféizar de una ventana, que ostenta una inscripción y sobre el que se posa una mosca.
