"Still Life of Fruit and a Basket of Flowers" is a 1623 oil painting by the Dutch Golden Age artist Balthasar van der Ast. Known for his detailed and intricate still lifes, van der Ast was a pioneer in the genre, and his works are celebrated for their vivid realism and complex composition. This particular painting is a testament to his skill in depicting both flora and fauna with scientific accuracy while also creating a composition that is aesthetically pleasing and rich with symbolism.

The painting features an array of fruits and flowers, carefully arranged to showcase their diverse textures and colors. A basket, brimming with a selection of flowers, sits prominently at the center of the composition, drawing the viewer's eye with its intricate detail and the vibrant hues of the petals. Surrounding the basket, an assortment of fruits, including grapes, peaches, and plums, are scattered across the table, some artfully halved to display their inner flesh. The arrangement is set against a dark, neutral background that enhances the luminosity of the subject matter.

Van der Ast's work is notable for its botanical accuracy, which reflects the period's growing interest in natural sciences and the exploration of the natural world. The inclusion of insects and other small creatures in his paintings adds a layer of liveliness and further emphasizes the theme of nature's bounty and the transience of life, common motifs in still life paintings of the era.

"Still Life of Fruit and a Basket of Flowers" is not only a celebration of nature's beauty but also an example of the artist's ability to merge scientific observation with artistic creativity. The painting is held in high regard for its contribution to the development of the still life genre and remains an important piece within Balthasar van der Ast's oeuvre. It continues to be studied and admired for its technical excellence and the insight it provides into the cultural and artistic values of the 17th-century Dutch Republic.
