Still Life

Still Life Paintings.

A Still Life is a work of art depicting mostly inanimate subject matter, typically commonplace objects which may be either natural (food, flowers, dead animals, plants, rocks, or shells) or man-made (drinking glasses, books, vases, jewelry, coins, pipes, and so on). "Anything that does not move or is dead". Traditionally, some of the objects in Still Life were likely to have selected for their symbolic meaning, but this symbolism eludes most modern-day visitors.
