Unknown cabinetmaker and Victor Wolfvoet II, Cabinet
An art cabinet was a great way to make a statement. In the 17th century, this precious piece of furniture –with its many hidden drawers, compartments and works of art – was a coveted item in all upstanding households. Many of the mythological scenes on this cabinet were inspired by Rubens’s compositions.
