"A Forest Floor Still Life With An Aspis Adder Attacking A Red Admiral, Together With A Peacock Butterfly And Other Butterflies, A Lizard, Snails And A Gold Thistle, With A Bird And A Rat Near A Bird's Nest" is a baroque painting by the German-Dutch artist Ernst Stuven. This elaborate work, dating from the 17th century, is an example of a 'sottobosco', a sub-genre of still life painting that focuses on the natural detritus of the forest floor. Stuven, known for his intricate and detailed depictions of flora and fauna, presents a vivid tableau of wildlife engaged in the drama of survival and coexistence.

The painting captures a moment of tension as an aspis adder, also known as a viper, is depicted attacking a Red Admiral butterfly, illustrating the cycle of life and death in nature. The scene is further animated by the presence of a peacock butterfly, various other butterflies, a lizard, and snails, all intricately rendered with a high degree of naturalism. The inclusion of a gold thistle adds a touch of color and texture to the composition, while a bird and a rat near a bird's nest in the background contribute to the narrative of the painting, suggesting the ongoing presence of life and the continuity of natural processes.

Stuven's work is characterized by his meticulous attention to detail and his ability to capture the beauty and brutality of the natural world. "A Forest Floor Still Life..." is a testament to his skill as a painter of still life and his understanding of the complex interplay between different species in their shared habitat. This painting not only serves as a visual delight but also as a commentary on the transient and often overlooked aspects of the natural environment. It remains an important work within Stuven's oeuvre and contributes to the broader understanding of baroque still life painting.
