still life paintings
Inanimate subject art
Still life paintings depict arrangements of inanimate objects—fruit, flowers, vessels, food, or everyday items—typically on a table or ledge.
The genre emphasizes composition, light, and texture, often carrying symbolic weight: a wilting flower suggests mortality, a skull reminds viewers of death.
Dutch still life paintings of the 17th century are renowned for their meticulous detail.
