"Still lifes are one of the many genres in the art of painting that arose in The Netherlands since the 16th century. Not only portraits and historical themes, landscapes and sea-scapes, battlefields and interiors, but now also 'still' and 'dead' things had drawn the attention of the artist and offered an opportunity for him to prove himself as a painter of this genre. 'The Netherlands are the true place of birth of this style of art', Wilhelm von Bode said once on the subject of still lifes." - Rudiger Klessmann.
