SwissArtGallery · Documented identity
Born in Delft and active in Haarlem from the early seventeenth century, Floris Claesz van Dijck belongs to the first generation of Dutch still-life specialists. His laid tables favour an elevated viewpoint that keeps individual objects legible. Fruit, bread, nuts and cheeses form distinct groups alongside costly textiles and vessels. Although relatively few of his works survive, this approach to composition helped develop the banquet still life as a pictorial subject.
Still Life with Cheese at the Rijksmuseum, dated around 1615, places a pewter plate over the table’s edge, strengthening the illusion of proximity. In A Banquet Still Life of 1622 at the National Gallery, Chinese porcelain, glassware and a nautilus cup accompany the food. These paintings combine the description of materials with a methodical construction of space.
