Still Life with CheeseFloris Claesz van Dijck

On a damask-draped table (c.1615) lie fruit, bread, and three cheeses, carefully grouped by type. Floris van Dijck’s mastery of illusion is evident in the pewter plate jutting over the edge, as if within reach. A pioneer of Haarlem still-life painting, he helped establish the Dutch Golden Age tradition of rendering everyday abundance with startling realism.
