Adriaen Coorte

Dutch, 1665–1707

Adriaen Coorte (1665–after 1707) was a Dutch painter associated with the Dutch Golden Age, known for his small still lifes. He created restrained compositions of fruit, vegetables, shells, and other simple objects on stone ledges set against dark backgrounds, often using oil on paper mounted on panel. Coorte worked mainly in Middelburg, where records show he was active from at least 1695, and around eighty signed works by him are known. His paintings focused on modest subjects and intense observation of light and texture, and he remained little known outside his region during his lifetime.
