ABOUT THIS PIECE Balthasar van der Ast's Still Life of Flowers, Fruit, Shells, and Insects was created in 1629 and is in Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery. The size of the work is 43,5 x 74,3 cm and is made of oil on panel. Van der Ast is considered a master of the “combined” still life composition; he had an exceptional ability to join flowers, fruit, and exotic shells into one powerful image. Although the placement of elements appears casual, it is instead highly deliberate. This painting is richly filled with meticulously rendered objects that have an almost palpable quality, demonstrating van der Ast’s interest in the virtuoso effects of his craft. The painting might also hold an underlying message regarding the transience of earthly existence, as seen in the slowly withering flowers and grape leaves. The artist’s signature can be found in the lower left corner. The Artist: Balthasar van der Ast (1593/94 – 7 March 1657) was a Dutch Golden Age painter who specialized in still lifes of flowers and fruit, as well as painting a number of remarkable shell still lifes; he is considered to be a pioneer in the genre of shell painting.
