Gobelet aux singes

Pays-Bas méridionaux, probablement des territoires bourguignons

On view at The Met Cloisters in Gallery 14

Ce gobelet, l’un des plus beaux exemples d’émaux exécutés au Moyen Âge pour une table princière, illustre une légende populaire sur la folie des hommes. Un vendeur ambulant, représenté juste au-dessus de la base, dort si profondément qu’une bande de singes le dévalisent et le dévêtent sans parvenir à l’éveiller. Certains d’entre eux jouent dans les branches avec les marchandises volées. Tous les objets traités avec la technique peu commune de l’émail peint en grisaille sont associés à la cour des ducs de Bourgogne.
