匣子

Attributed to Michel Redlin German

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 521

这只来自波兰格但斯克的“炫示”匣子（专供展示而制）是十七世纪琥珀作品中最重要且保存最完好的范例之一。它用上了几乎所有的琥珀种类，包括半透明的、不透明的和乳白色的，以此强调艺术与自然的相互影响，这正是人们最珍视的奇珍（kunstkammer）物品的特征。在后中世纪时期，人称“波罗的海黄金”的琥珀被视为有神秘起源和神奇力量的一种物质。此处的琥珀表面精心雕刻出了山水田园风光，一系列大胆的矩形和椭圆形有一部分由透明的薄琥珀片组成，使画面更有生气。巧妙的雕工、车削和镌刻创造出悦目的日落色彩。
