Evert Collier was a Dutch painter of illusionist trompe-l’oeil canvases and “vanitas” still-lifes, works intended to convey the vanity of Earthly possessions and pursuits. Collier studied in Haarlem and then moved to Leiden, where he joined the Artist’s Guild of St. Luke. This piece counts music, military service, scholarship, and exploration as apparent Earth-bound pursuits. Perfect for a luxury Villa in Las Vegas, Nevada.
