Still Life Paintings

Still life has always been a popular subject among artists. It is a genre of painting that typically features small, immobile, and often inanimate objects arranged in a composition. These elements are carefully selected for their compositional, aesthetic, and sometimes symbolic purposes. Common objects found in still life paintings include food products like fruits, fish, eggs, and bread, as well as flowers, kitchenware, books, weapons, candles, playing cards, musical instruments, and occasionally insects and crustaceans. Another significant symbolic element in still life paintings is the skull, whether human or animal. Still life paintings were not merely beautiful studies of nature but also explored the motif of vanitas, which was particularly strong in the 17th century and reflected contemplation on the transience, vanity of life, and earthly possessions. Through the selection and arrangement of objects, plants, and colors, artists sought to convey deeper meanings. Bouquets of flowers, for instance, often had symbolic significance, featuring blossoms in different stages of bloom, including buds, full blooms, and withered petals. In our collection, you will find exquisite oil paintings depicting still life, beautifully framed with ornate, golden frames. Typical examples of this genre include “Still Life with Fruits” and “Still Life with Yellow Flowers in a Vase,” which can become stunning additions to stylish interiors, evoking a timeless and classic ambiance.
