Still Life with Fruits, Foliage and Insects, Abraham Mignon, c. 1669, Minneapolis Institute of Art: Paintings

Dutch still life with fruit, foliage, and insects. Still lifes often carried symbolic meanings for their original Dutch viewers. Here, the crowded display of fruit and insects testifies to the bounty of nature. Abraham Mignon’s virtuoso technique also reveals his desire to vie with the natural world and briefly halt time’s passage by fixing these objects in paint. The sheer variety of natural organisms still fascinates. But the fruit has begun to rot, and the once-mighty oak tree shows signs of blight. The stone in the foreground has fallen from a once-perfect building, and the arch in the right background crumbles. Butterflies and caterpillars, traditional symbols of transience, also allude to the impermanence of earthly things. Size: 23 x 19 1/2 in. (58.42 x 49.53 cm) (canvas) Medium: Oil on canvas

Still Life with Flowers and a Watch by Abraham Mignon, Museum of the Netherlands

De bloemen in dit weelderige boeket zijn zorgvuldig gerangschikt op vorm en kleur. Het licht dat subtiel langs de bloemen strijkt laat het boeket scherp afsteken tegen de donkere achtergrond. Naast het boeket ligt een opengeklapt zakhorloge met een blauw lintje eraan. Dit uurwerk en de over de bloemen kruipende insecten wijzen op de vergankelijkheid van het bestaan – de tijd die langzaam verstrijkt en alles aantast.

De omvergeworpen ruiker. Een kat stoot, spelend met een muizenval, een vaas met een boeket bloemen om. In het boeket: tulpen, irissen, papavers en anjers. Tussen de bloemen vliegen, vlinders, een spin, een libel en slakken.

Still Life with Fruit, Oysters and a Porcelain Bowl by Abraham Mignon, Museum of the Netherlands

Mignon learned the rudiments of his craft from the still-life painter Jan Davidsz de Heem. The profusion of bright colours and the highly precise rendering of this still life, down to the smallest detail, betray his teacher’s influence. Mignon mastered De Heem’s tricks primarily to achieve certain effects, such as the light shining through the grapes, the glass-like shimmer of the pomegranate seeds and the water drops reflecting light.
