"Still Life with Musical Instruments, Plutarch's 'Lives,' and a Celestial Globe" is a 17th-century oil painting by the Dutch Golden Age artist Edwaert Collier, also known as Evert Collier. This work is a fine example of a vanitas still life, a genre that flourished in the Netherlands during the 16th and 17th centuries. Vanitas paintings are characterized by their depiction of objects that symbolize the transient nature of life, the futility of pleasure, and the certainty of death, reminding viewers of the temporality of worldly goods and the inevitability of decay.

Collier's painting is meticulously detailed, showcasing a collection of objects that serve as allegories for human achievements and the passage of time. The inclusion of musical instruments, such as a lute and a recorder, alongside books like Plutarch's "Lives," reflects the cultural pursuits of the era and suggests a contemplation on the fleeting nature of fame and knowledge. The celestial globe, another prominent element in the composition, represents the study of the heavens and the quest for understanding the universe, further emphasizing the theme of the pursuit of knowledge.

The artwork is a testament to Collier's skill in rendering textures and surfaces, capturing the interplay of light and shadow on different materials. His attention to detail and the realistic portrayal of the objects contribute to the viewer's engagement with the underlying vanitas message. "Still Life with Musical Instruments, Plutarch's 'Lives,' and a Celestial Globe" not only serves as a visual feast but also as a philosophical reminder of the importance of humility and the recognition of life's impermanence.

As a notable work within Collier's oeuvre, this painting is an important piece for understanding the development of still life and vanitas paintings in the Dutch Golden Age. It continues to be studied and appreciated for its aesthetic qualities and its rich symbolic content.
