Jean Baptiste Monnoyer - Flower Basket
Summary
Monnoyer was famed for his painted still lifes, which he made, amongst others, for the French king Louis XIV. This album in its original binding contains his complete oeuvre in print, in large format. It made his work known to a wider public, whereby it could also serve as a model for marquetry, the wooden inlay used to decorate furniture. Such a piece of furniture can be found in the Rijksmuseum.
