Still Life, Pieter Claesz., 1643, Minneapolis Institute of Art: Paintings
Dutch Golden Age. 'Vanitas' still life. Claesz was one of the most important Dutch still-life painters of the 1600s, depicting objects with an extraordinary sense of naturalism. Everything on the table, from the fluted glass and goblet to the lobster and crab, is indeed life-like. You can almost smell the lemons. The Dutch proudly displayed such expensive status symbols in their homes, the exotic food and material possessions reminding them of the good things in life, even as the watch reminds them of their transience. The bread and wine, in a touch of Christian symbolism, echo the moralizing message of vanitas, or vanity: all earthly things must pass. Size: 27 1/8 x 34 3/4 x 1 1/4 in. (68.9 x 88.27 x 3.18 cm) (panel) Medium: Oil on panel

Vanitas with Violin and Glass Ball by Pieter Claesz, 1628. An astonishing work.
Vanitas Still Life with the Spinario by Pieter Claesz., 1628, Museum of the Netherlands
Appearances can be deceptive – certainly in painting, which gives only an impression of reality. Here Claesz presents the study materials of an educated painter: books, drawings, armour, musical instruments and a plaster cast of the Spinario, a famous antique sculpture of a boy extracting a thorn from his foot. On the table are a paintbrush and a palette, along with bones and a skull. The message is clear: the world is mere illusion and transience (vanitas).
