Still Life PaintingsThere are 73 products.
Still-life painting was much practised in the ancient world, but thereafter declined and did not re-emerge in the history of art as an independent genre until the 16th century. As the origin of the name suggests, still-life was particularly favoured in the North of Europe, especially in Holland and Flanders, among painters of the late Northern Renaissance This was partly due to the effects of the North European Reformation which led to a decline in religious painting among Protestant nations. Even so, there were significant schools of still-life art in Italy (especially Naples) and Spain, and to a lesser extent France, although Chardin was arguably the greatest still-life painter of the 18th century and Paul Cezanne of the 19th century. Contemporary still lifes may include a limitless range of contemporary objects, from urinals to beer cans.
