The modest still lifes of Adriaen Coorte are world famous. His small paintings show a simple representation of two peaches, a sprig of berries, a few strawberries or a bunch of asparagus. The way in which the texture and transparency of the vegetables and fruit are depicted in the incident light is sublime. The objects are usually on a stone table and are painted against a very dark background. In a well-considered composition, the subtly applied spots of light attract attention.
Adriaen Coorte worked in Zeeland between 1683 and 1707. In contrast to the usual excess of opulence in 17th century still lifes, his work is an example of masterful simplicity.
The origami strawberries are inspired by a small painting by Adriaan Coorte that hangs in the Mauritshuis.
