"Still Life" by Juan Sánchez Cotán (1560–1627) is a seminal work in the history of Spanish art and a quintessential example of the bodegón, a genre of still life painting that emerged in Spain during the Golden Age. Cotán, who was a pioneer of the Spanish still life genre, is renowned for his austere, yet deeply contemplative compositions that often feature a small number of objects arranged in a stark, geometric order against a dark background, evoking a sense of timeless tranquility and metaphysical significance.

Painted circa 1602, shortly before Cotán entered a Carthusian monastery, "Still Life" is characterized by its simplicity and the artist's masterful use of light and shadow to create a realistic depiction of the subject matter. The painting typically features a selection of everyday items such as fruits and vegetables, which are suspended from strings or placed on ledges within a deep, window-like niche. The objects, which may include lemons, quinces, cabbages, and game birds, are rendered with meticulous attention to detail and texture, highlighting Cotán's skill in portraying the natural world.

The composition's starkness and the meditative quality of the work reflect the religious and philosophical context of the period, suggesting themes of vanitas and the transient nature of earthly life. "Still Life" by Juan Sánchez Cotán is not only a landmark in the development of still life painting in Europe but also an enduring testament to the artist's spiritual and artistic vision. The painting is held in high regard for its influence on later artists and its role in establishing the still life as a serious genre in Western art.

Today, Cotán's "Still Life" is considered a masterpiece of Spanish Baroque painting and is held in the collection of the Museo del Prado in Madrid, where it continues to be studied and admired for its aesthetic and historical significance.
