Aguamanil en forma de Aristóteles y Filis

Países Bajos meridionales

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 958

El aguamanil es un tipo de jarro usado para verter agua en el ritual del lavado de las manos, en contextos tanto religiosos como profanos. Esta pieza, cuya probable finalidad era divertir a los comensales reunidos alrededor de una mesa, escenifica una leyenda moralizadora según la cual Aristóteles, el filósofo griego y tutor de Alejandro el Grande, se dejó humillar por la seductora Filis para aleccionar al joven monarca.
