COLLIER, Edwart
(b. ca. 1640, Breda, d. 1710, Leiden)

Vanitas Still-Life

1662
Oil on canvas, 98 x 130 cm
Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam

Collier was clearly a colourful character and was married three times in the space of eleven years between 1670 and 1681. His eventful personal life renders his sombre obsession with the vanitas still-life, which he painted almost exclusively throughout his career, all the more fascinating.
