Still Life with Books

• ... that Still Life with Books (pictured) by Jan Lievens is an example of the vanitas genre of painting? Source: Jan Lievens’ vanitas of leather bindings and shrivelled old papers in “Still Life with Books” and vanitas still-life genre - Spanish Vanitas Versus Dutch Vanitas - Still life with books by Jan Lievens, ca. 1627, via Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam
  • ALT1: ... that for many years Still Life with Books (pictured) was thought to be a painting by Rembrandt? Source: Though it now seems difficult to mistake Rembrandt for Lievens, in a painting such as the Rijksmuseum’s Still Life with Books it is easy to see why Lievens’s early pictures were confused with Rembrandt’s. Indeed, though most experts now give the painting to Lievens, its attribution has floated between the two for decades.
