Description
It was master painter Wilem Kalf who started this style of still life with opulent, luxurious objects. A Chinese porcelain bowl or turkish rug were very expensive items in XVII Dutch republic. Nobody knows why Kalf decided to do this or what he wanted to express. That being said, he incorporated some vanitas symbols in this masterpieces (watches). Maybe he felt a bit of guilt.
