Retrato de um monge cartusiano

Petrus Christus Netherlandish

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 605

Petrus Christus foi um dos principais pintores de Bruges nos anos posteriores à morte de Jan van Eyck, em 1441. Este retrato, que pode ser considerado uma das melhores pinturas do artista e a primeira de suas obras datadas, Christus o colocou em um canto que parece ser um aposento. O efeito de verossimilitude se acentua com uma moldura em trompe-l’oeil, simulando o parapeito de uma janela, que ostenta uma inscrição e sobre o qual pousa uma mosca.
