Still Life
A painting of objects that do not move, like fruit, flowers, or dead animals.
What is it?
A still life is a work of art showing non-living things. Artists arrange objects like food, vases, and books on a table and paint them. Still lifes became very popular in the Netherlands during the 1600s. The painting you captured is a still life. It shows many foods and game, arranged beautifully.
Why it matters
Still lifes let artists show off their skill with color, light, and texture. They also often have hidden meanings about life and death.
