Adriaen Coorte Biography

(b ?Middelburg, ?1660; d ?Middelburg, after 1707). Dutch painter. He painted mainly small still-lifes, but contrary to the contemporary fashion for increasingly complicated representations of flowers and fruit, he preferred to paint single objects arranged as simply as possible. Coorte’s subjects were generally fruit or vegetables, sometimes shells and, more rarely, flowers or vanitas arrangements. These are generally arranged on a stone plinth or slab, often with a crack or groove on the front edge. In the larger paintings the composition is sometimes enclosed in a niche (e.g. Still-life with Fruit and Asparagus , 1698; the Netherlands, priv. col.). The majority of his pictures were executed between 1696 and 1705.
