"Melons, peaches, grapes, cherries and other fruits, with a wan-li porcelain bowl with gilt mount, insects and butterflies, in a landscape" is a still life painting by the Dutch Golden Age artist Cornelis de Heem. This work exemplifies the rich tradition of still life painting that flourished in the Netherlands during the 17th century, a period marked by a fascination with detailed depictions of everyday objects that included a wide range of symbolic and aesthetic functions.

Cornelis de Heem, born in 1631 in Leiden, was a prominent member of a family of still life painters, and his works are known for their vivid realism and intricate composition. In this particular painting, de Heem presents a sumptuous array of fruits arranged around a Wan-Li porcelain bowl, a Chinese import that reflects the period's interest in exotic goods brought to Europe by the Dutch East India Company. The gilt mount on the bowl adds a touch of opulence to the scene, while the presence of insects and butterflies contributes to the painting's lifelike quality and may symbolize the transience of life.

The inclusion of a variety of fruits, each rendered with meticulous attention to texture, color, and form, showcases de Heem's skill in capturing the natural world and his ability to imbue inanimate objects with a sense of vitality. The landscape in the background provides a context for the still life, situating the composition in a broader natural setting and offering a contrast to the detailed foreground.

This painting not only demonstrates de Heem's technical prowess but also serves as a testament to the cultural and economic milieu of the Dutch Republic, where art collecting was widespread and still lifes were particularly appreciated for their beauty and emblematic content. The work is characteristic of de Heem's mature style, in which he achieved a harmonious balance between realism and decorative elegance, making it a significant example of 17th-century Dutch still life painting.
