Vanitas Still Life

1610–1651

François van Daellen was a Dutch Golden Age artist. 3 works are cataloged here, principally at National Gallery of Art.

A Dutch painter who made still lifes in the 1600s, van Daellen put everyday objects on canvas, glasses, fruit, silver, with quiet focus. In Untitled (c. 1650), scattered grapes, a peeled lemon, and a tarnished goblet sit in soft light, each surface catching the eye. See how the reflections and shadows build depth without drama; still life here feels alive in small details.

Tap Untitled to zoom into the layered brushwork and the way the lemon’s rind curls toward the viewer.
