Vocabulary: Still Life
Still life is one of the principal genres of Western art, focusing on objects that are inanimate or no longer living. This includes both natural and man-made items such as flowers, fruit, vegetables, fish, game, and wine. Still life artworks can serve as a celebration of material pleasures like food and drink or as a reminder of life's fleeting nature and mortality.
