"Grapes and Flowers with Beetle, Snail and Lizard" is a still life painting by the Dutch Golden Age artist Cornelis de Heem. This work exemplifies the meticulous attention to detail and the vibrant use of color characteristic of de Heem's oeuvre. The painting is a rich composition that features an arrangement of grapes and flowers, accompanied by small creatures—a beetle, a snail, and a lizard—interspersed among the foliage and fruit. These elements are not merely decorative; they serve as symbols of decay and the transience of life, common themes in vanitas paintings of the period.

Cornelis de Heem, born in 1631, was the son of the renowned still life painter Jan Davidsz. de Heem, from whom he learned his craft. Cornelis developed his own distinctive style, which often included a darker palette and a more intimate portrayal of nature than his father's work. "Grapes and Flowers with Beetle, Snail and Lizard" is a testament to his ability to blend the realistic depiction of nature with allegorical meaning.

The painting is a testament to the artist's skill in rendering textures and surfaces, capturing the play of light on the delicate petals of the flowers and the succulent flesh of the grapes. The inclusion of insects and a reptile was a common motif in still life paintings of the time, serving to remind viewers of the natural world's inherent beauty and the cycle of life and death.

While the exact date of the painting's creation is not known, it is believed to have been produced during the artist's mature period, when his style had fully developed and his works were in high demand. "Grapes and Flowers with Beetle, Snail and Lizard" remains an important example of Cornelis de Heem's artistic legacy and contributes to the understanding of Dutch still life painting during the Golden Age. The painting is appreciated not only for its aesthetic qualities but also for its embodiment of the philosophical and symbolic preoccupations of the era.
