Well played, Maria. Well played.

Maria van Oosterwijck (1630–1693) was one of the most successful women painters of the Dutch Golden Age. She specialized in lavish still lifes, overflowing with flowers, books, and curious objects.

But her paintings weren’t just about beauty. Many of them, like this one, are vanitas still lifes — a genre meant to remind viewers of the fragility of life. Because in the end, we all die. Unless you’re clever enough to immortalize yourself in a painting.
