"Still-Life c. 1640" is a notable painting by the Dutch Golden Age artist Floris Gerritsz. van Schooten, who specialized in still lifes, particularly those depicting food and kitchen scenes. This painting, dating from around 1640, is an exemplary work of van Schooten's mature period, showcasing his skill in rendering textures and surfaces with meticulous attention to detail.

The painting features an arrangement of various objects that were typical for a 17th-century Dutch breakfast or banquet scene. It includes an array of cheeses, bread, and fruits, as well as nuts and possibly wine, arranged on a table partially covered with a white tablecloth. The composition is carefully constructed to display the opulence and variety of the food, as well as the wealth and social status of the owner. Van Schooten's use of light and shadow, as well as his ability to capture the different textures of the food and tableware, demonstrate his mastery of the still-life genre.

Floris Gerritsz. van Schooten was active in Haarlem, where he was influenced by the works of Pieter Claesz and Willem Claesz Heda, who were renowned for their monochrome banketje (banquet piece) still lifes. Van Schooten's own works, however, often incorporated a broader color palette and a greater variety of objects. "Still-Life c. 1640" is a fine example of his artistry and contributes to our understanding of Dutch still-life painting during a period when it was flourishing as an independent genre.

This painting is significant not only for its aesthetic qualities but also for its cultural and historical context. It reflects the Dutch Republic's prosperity during the 17th century, a time when trade and commerce brought a variety of goods to the Netherlands, and when there was a growing interest in the natural world, as well as in the collection and display of curiosities and luxury items.

Today, "Still-Life c. 1640" by Floris Gerritsz. van Schooten is appreciated for its historical value and its place within the evolution of still-life painting in Europe. It remains an important work for scholars studying the Dutch Golden Age and the development of still-life as a genre, as well as for art enthusiasts who admire the technical skill and aesthetic qualities of van Schooten's work.
