"A Vanitas Still Life of Violin, Recorder, Music Score, Globe" is a 17th-century oil painting by the Dutch artist Edwaert Collier, also known as Evert Collier. As a vanitas painting, a genre that flourished in the Netherlands in the Golden Age, this work is imbued with symbolic elements designed to remind viewers of the transience of life, the futility of pleasure, and the certainty of death. The painting is a memento mori, a reminder that earthly achievements and pleasures are fleeting.

Collier's composition typically includes a violin and a recorder, musical instruments that represent the arts and the ephemeral nature of sound, alongside a globe, which signifies worldly affairs and knowledge. A music score is also present, further emphasizing the theme of the brevity of life and the arts. These objects are often arranged in a manner that suggests a casual, temporary pause, underscoring the transient quality of human endeavors.

Edwaert Collier was known for his skillful depiction of textures and surfaces, as well as his intricate attention to detail, which is evident in the realistic portrayal of the objects in this still life. The painting serves not only as a showcase of Collier's technical prowess but also as a philosophical commentary on the human condition.

The exact date of creation for "A Vanitas Still Life of Violin, Recorder, Music Score, Globe" is not universally agreed upon, but it is generally attributed to Collier's mature period when he produced a number of vanitas paintings that featured similar themes and motifs. The painting is part of a larger body of work that reflects the cultural and artistic preoccupations of the Dutch Republic in the 17th century, a time when still life painting was a popular and evolving genre.

As with many works of its kind, Collier's painting invites the viewer to reflect on the meaning of life and the inevitability of death, encouraging a contemplative engagement with the artwork.
