Caterpillage is a study of seventeenthcentury Dutch still life painting It develops an interpretive approach based on the authors previous studies of portraiture and its goal is to offer its readers a new way to think and talk about the genre of still lifeThe book begins with a critique of iconographic discourse and particularly of iconographys treatment of vanitas symbolism It goes on to argue that this treatment tends to divert attention from still lifes darker meanings and from the true character of its traffic with death Interpretations of still life that focus on the vanity of human experience and the mutability of life minimize the impact made by the representation of such voracious pillagers of plant life as insects snails and caterpillars The message sent by still lifes preoccupation with these smallscale predators is not merely vanitasIt is rapacitas Caterpillage also explores the impact of this message on the meaning of the genres French name We use the conventional term nature morte dead nature without giving any thought to how misleading it is Because so many portrayals of still life involve cut flowers which although still in bloom are dying it would be more accurate to name the genre nature mourant The subjects of still life are plants that are still living plants that are dying but not yet dead
