Still life paintings from the Netherlands, 1550–1720

Still Life Paintings from the Netherlands 1550–1720, (Dutch:Het Nederlandse Stilleven 1550–1720) is a 1999 art exhibition catalog published for a jointly held exhibition by the Rijksmuseum Amsterdam (19 June – 9 September 1999) and Cleveland Museum of Art (31 October 1999 – 9 January 2000). The catalog included detailed discussions of 80 paintings from various collection holders, that together give an overview of the best genres in Dutch still-life paintings, namely kitchen piece (keukenstuk), fruit still-life, (fruitstuk), floral still-life (blommetje), breakfast piece (ontbijtje), vanitas, hunting piece (jaagstuk), and show piece (pronkstilleven). The catalog was organized by type, but also loosely by time period, starting with the earliest works.
