"Quodlibet 1675" is a still-life painting by the Dutch Golden Age artist Cornelis Norbertus Gijsbrechts, known for his trompe-l'œil, or "deceive the eye," compositions. Created in 1675, this work is a testament to Gijsbrechts' skill in rendering objects with such realism that they appear three-dimensional, challenging the viewer's perception of reality and illusion.

The term "quodlibet" refers to a type of still-life painting that depicts a seemingly random assortment of everyday objects, often with a playful or whimsical arrangement, and sometimes including written elements such as letters or music sheets. Gijsbrechts' "Quodlibet 1675" is a prime example of this genre, showcasing a variety of objects that appear to be casually placed, yet are meticulously painted to create a convincing illusion of depth and texture.

In this particular painting, Gijsbrechts displays a collection of items that might be found in a 17th-century Dutch household, such as books, musical instruments, and artist's tools, arranged in a manner that invites the viewer to look closer and question the reality of what they see. The attention to detail in the depiction of materials, from the sheen of metal to the softness of paper, demonstrates Gijsbrechts' mastery of the still-life genre and his ability to manipulate visual perception.

"Quodlibet 1675" is not only a celebration of the artist's technical prowess but also serves as a commentary on the nature of art and the act of viewing. By blurring the lines between the painted image and the physical world, Gijsbrechts engages the viewer in a dialogue about the relationship between representation and reality, a theme that remains relevant in the discourse of art history.

Today, the painting is recognized as an important work in the oeuvre of Cornelis Gijsbrechts and a significant contribution to the development of trompe-l'œil painting in the Dutch Golden Age. It continues to be studied and admired for its aesthetic qualities and its philosophical implications about the power of visual illusion.
