Detailed Description

Still life paintings are a genre of art in which objects are depicted in a lifelike manner, often in a tableau or collage format.

The objects are usually arranged in a specific way to create a certain effect. Still life paintings are usually created for their aesthetic value, but they can also be created for symbolic or religious purposes.
