Dirk Staschke is best known for his ceramic treatment of the vanitas theme common in still life paintings by baroque Dutch painters (c. 1585–1730). This allegorical genre uses transient symbolic objects to illustrate the fleetingness of pleasure and the certainty of death, including over-the-top arrangements of cakes, pastries, fruit, vegetables, fish, and meats. Though these still lifes, sometimes depicting flies and other insects, endeavor to capture the temporal nature of life, ironically, fired ceramics are known to be among the most permanent materials of human culture.
