"Grapes And Pears On A Pewter Plate, With Apples, Cherries And Grapes On A Wanli Plate, Flowers In A Vase And A Melon, Nuts And Shells On A Tabletop" is a still life painting by the Dutch Golden Age artist Balthasar van der Ast. Known for his detailed and vibrant still lifes, van der Ast was a significant figure in the development of the genre in the early 17th century. This particular work exemplifies his skill in depicting a variety of textures and surfaces, from the reflective quality of pewter and porcelain to the fleshy interiors of ripe fruit.

The painting is a rich composition that combines various elements typical of van der Ast's oeuvre, including fruits, flowers, and shells, arranged on a tabletop. The juxtaposition of objects from different origins, such as the exotic Wanli plate from the Ming dynasty, alongside local European produce, reflects the burgeoning global trade of the time and the Dutch fascination with collecting and displaying such items.

Van der Ast's meticulous attention to detail not only captures the beauty and diversity of the natural world but also serves as a reminder of the transience of life, a theme often explored in still life paintings through the motif of ripe, sometimes overripe, fruits and flowers beginning to wilt. This painting, like many of van der Ast's works, is not only a celebration of abundance and variety but also an invitation to contemplate the impermanence of worldly pleasures.

The painting is a testament to van der Ast's mastery in creating compositions that are both visually appealing and rich in symbolic meaning. It remains an important work within the artist's repertoire and contributes to our understanding of still life painting in the Dutch Golden Age. The exact date of creation is not specified, but van der Ast's most productive period was during the 1620s and 1630s, which is likely when this piece was completed. The current location of the painting is not listed, which suggests that it may be held in a private collection or its whereabouts are otherwise not publicly known.
