Antique Still Life Paintings

To convey character and feeling in portrait and landscape painting is, in many respects, much simpler than in still life painting, where the subject the artist depicts is inanimate and lifeless. Still life painting typically takes as its subject matter food, flowers, glasses, vases, or dead animals, all arranged into elaborate compositions that allow the artist to demonstrate his or her still at rendering a variety of forms and textures in various lighting conditions.
