[Roly-Poly Armchair]( German still-life painter Georg Flegel completed this work around 1630, in the waning days of the tumultuous Protestant Reformation. The artist was famous for his compositions, here depicting a gilded cup beside a modest meal. The biblical iconography is undeniable — and allows for many readings.

The unofficial master of ceremonies was this futuristic Robot in red rhinestones and bearing the brand's famous “C” logo.
