"Vanitas Still Life" is a painting by the Dutch Golden Age artist Edwaert Collier, also known as Evert Collier, who specialized in vanitas and trompe-l'œil still life paintings. Created in the 17th century, this work is a classic example of the vanitas genre, which serves as a reminder of the transience of life, the futility of pleasure, and the certainty of death. The term "vanitas" is Latin for "vanity," and it refers to the genre of still life painting that includes symbolic objects designed to remind the viewer of their mortality and the worthlessness of worldly goods and pleasures.

Collier's "Vanitas Still Life" typically features an array of objects that hold symbolic meaning. Common elements in vanitas paintings include skulls, which symbolize death; extinguished or guttering candles, representing the brevity of life; books and manuscripts, indicating human knowledge and achievements; musical instruments, reflecting the ephemeral nature of pleasure; and hourglasses or clocks, which are emblems of the passage of time. These items are often arranged in a manner that is both aesthetically pleasing and rich in allegorical content.

Edwaert Collier, born in Breda in 1640 and active in Leiden, Amsterdam, London, and possibly Haarlem, was a contemporary of other Dutch still life painters who were also exploring the vanitas theme. His works are known for their meticulous detail and the skillful use of light and shadow, which enhance the three-dimensional illusion of the depicted objects.

While "Vanitas Still Life" is a well-recognized type of work within Collier's oeuvre, the specific painting in question may refer to one of several works by the artist that bear this common title. As such, without additional information about the particular painting (such as its date of creation, dimensions, current location, or provenance), it is challenging to provide a more detailed introduction to the specific work. However, Collier's vanitas paintings, in general, are highly regarded for their artistic merit and philosophical depth, and they continue to be studied for their rich symbolism and historical context within the Dutch Golden Age of painting.
