Door panel

Christophe Hüet

An item at Metropolitan Museum of Art

The close parallels with Christophe Huet's paintings on the paneling of the Hôtel de Rohan (also known as the Hôtel de Strasbourg), Paris, suggest that 07.225.460 may have been made for the "cabinet des singes" and removed during subsequent remodeling, or made for another room of the hôtel.

European Sculpture and Decorative Arts

An exhibit at Metropolitan Museum of Art

The fifty thousand objects in the Museum's comprehensive and historically important collection of European sculpture and decorative arts reflect the development of a number of art forms in Western European countries from the early fifteenth through the early twentieth century. The holdings include sculpture in many sizes and media, woodwork and furniture, ceramics and glass, metalwork and jewelry, horological and mathematical instruments, and tapestries and textiles. Ceramics made in Asia for export to European markets and sculpture and decorative arts produced in Latin America during this period are also included among these works.
