Questions About Antique Still Life
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021
    A still life is a type of painting or drawing portraying an arrangement of different objects. Typically, these subjects include fruit, flowers, dining ware, and glassware.
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 29, 2024
    No, a still life doesn't have to be realistic. Still life is a genre or type of subject matter. To fit the definition, a piece simply needs to portray inanimate objects. Artists can employ any style they choose to represent the objects in their paintings. Some examples of abstract still-life paintings include Georges Braque's Violin and Candlestick, Pablo Picasso's Still Life with Chair Caning and Paul Cézanne's Fruit Bowl, Glass, and Apples. Find a large collection of still-life paintings on 1stDibs.

    Why it is called still life has to do with the history of the art genre. Still life painting became a distinct genre thanks to the work of late 16th- and 17th-century Dutch artists. They called their paintings stilleven, which translates to motionless or silent life in English. This term relates to the fact that Dutch still life artists painted motionless objects such as flowers and fruit. As the genre spread beyond the Netherlands, English-speaking artists referred to it as still life. Shop a selection of still life paintings on 1stDibs.
  • Lilac Gallery Ltd.March 17, 2021
    A 'Still Life' image refers to a work of art where the main subject usually portrays an intimate interior scene showing natural objects like food, flowers, dead animals, plants, rocks, shells, etc. or man-made objects like drinking glasses, books, vases, jewelry, coins, pipes, etc. which are mostly arranged on top of a flat surface like a table or mantel.
  • 1stDibs ExpertSeptember 25, 2019

  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Whether or not still life art is realism depends on the piece. Dutch still lifes produced during the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries are examples of a realistic style.
