"Still Life" is a genre of artwork depicting inanimate subject matter, typically commonplace objects which may be either natural (food, flowers, plants, rocks, or shells) or man-made (drinking glasses, books, vases, jewelry, coins, pipes, and so on). Floris Gerritsz. van Schooten (c. 1585 – 1656) was a Dutch Golden Age painter who specialized in still lifes, often with a strong emphasis on kitchen and market scenes with fruits, vegetables, and game.

One of his notable works in this genre is the "Still Life," which exemplifies the meticulous attention to detail and the fascination with the textures and surfaces of objects that characterize van Schooten's work. His paintings often feature an array of culinary items arranged on a table, showcasing the abundance and variety of food available in the 17th-century Netherlands. These still lifes are not only a display of van Schooten's skill in rendering different materials but also reflect the cultural and economic context of the time, including the Dutch pride in their trade networks and the burgeoning middle-class interest in art collecting.

Van Schooten's "Still Life" paintings typically include a combination of prepared and raw foods, kitchenware, and sometimes a hint of a domestic setting, such as a partially visible cupboard or a niche in the background. The compositions are carefully constructed to lead the viewer's eye through the scene, often using diagonals and contrasts between light and shadow to create a sense of depth and volume.

While the exact date of creation for many of van Schooten's still lifes is not always clear, they are generally believed to have been painted during the height of his career in the first half of the 17th century. His work is representative of the Haarlem school of still life painting, which was known for its fine detail, high finish, and subdued palette.

As a significant contributor to the development of still life painting in the Dutch Golden Age, Floris Gerritsz. van Schooten's "Still Life" remains an important piece for the study of art history and the evolution of this genre. His work is held in various museum collections and continues to be appreciated for its aesthetic qualities and historical significance.
