Clara Peeters (ca. 1587–1636) was a pioneering Flemish painter and one of the very first in Europe to devote herself almost entirely to still-life. This richly illustrated book by Alejandro Vergara-Sharp traces her remarkable career, placing her finely detailed paintings of food, flowers, and precious objects within the broader context of seventeenth-century Antwerp. It also reflects on the challenges she faced as a woman artist in a male-dominated field, and how she used her art to assert her place in the world of painting. By examining her technique, subjects, and the cultural meaning of the objects she depicted, the book highlights both her originality and her enduring importance in the history of art.
