Armário sobre base

Attributed to Jan van Mekeren Dutch

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 551

Este gabinete é o menor e o mais pictórico dos atribuídos a Jan van Mekeren, especializado em móveis de luxo de marquetaria para a aristocracia de Amsterdã. Apoiado sob uma base com pés, o armário tem uma superestrutura simples, semelhante a uma caixa, decorada com um grande ramo de flores bonitas. Graças a uma escolha cuidadosa de um amarelo brilhante como a madeira bérberis para os narcisos, por exemplo, e o destaque dado ao branco quase sagrado através de corantes naturais, embora não permanente, Van Mekeren conseguiu uma gama de cores vibrantes e naturais que lembram as cores das pinturas de natureza-morta.
