The artist was the founder of the school of still life, and during his lifetime he painted 110 paintings depicting inanimate objects, which were previously considered only as a background for paintings.

The artist began to paint his first paintings in 1600, and this painting is no exception, it depicts fresh bread, sweet gingerbread, a crystal drinking glass and sugary, crystal cookies. Small insects, in particular a butterfly. bee and ladybug symbolize a separate kind of art and admiration for all living things. Flegel was a charming and insanely talented person, he valued life and knew how to combine inanimate objects, painting them with life. Sweets in his painting symbolize the enjoyment of life, and a full glass - a full life and success in it.
