Still life paintings

Still life paintings as a separate genre arose in the 15-16 centuries, when the paintings depicting inanimate objects collected into a single composition became popular. The still life paintings represent the objects in their motionless state; things are placed in the space which could be called relatively timeless. They are purposefully grouped into a common environment. The artist does not draw objects from life as they are located in the interior, but arrange them beforehand in accordance with their significance and artistic meaning. To become the subject of the still life paintings, fruit and vegetables should be picked off, animals and birds should be killed, fishes and marine inhabitants should be caught and flowers should be cut.

In the art galleries it is possible to find some excellent examples of original paintings for sale that portray not only inanimate objects but also represent objects of the living nature isolated from their natural bonds and thus turned into things - the fishes on the table or the bouquets of flowers. Many beautiful samples of art for sale may depict the moving alive creatures - insects, birds, animals or even human beings - but they can only appear from time to time at the still life paintings as the supplement to the main motif. The importance of small items that were singled out from the context of everyday life grows in comparison with other genres and the special attention is paid to the structure and the details of the objects, to their surface texture.

The early still life paintings often served the utilitarian purpose - they were used to hide the wall niche or to decorate the doors of the wardrobes and bookcases. For a long time the still life paintings kept the bond with such a genre of art as a religious painting. For example, the figures of the Virgin Mary and Christ were framed with the traditional for the still life paintings garlands of flowers. The same images of flowers were often placed at the back of the altar. Also in the 16th century the tradition to create portraits with a scull that would remain of the perishableness of life was widespread. Even today art galleries present such examples of art for sale that contain a hidden allegory of the life transience and the inevitability of death. This meaning is shown with the help of usage of familiar and ordinary items that could be met in everyday life that are endowed with an additional symbolic implication.

The golden age for the still life paintings began in the 17th century. Talking about the samples of art for sale created in this genre the Netherlands are recalled in the first place. At that time there were quite a lot of distinguished artists who worked on the still life paintings and the different regions of the country specialized in depicting of various objects.

From time immemorial art galleries could be proud of possession of the beautiful artwork collections, created in the genre of the still life paintings. For the connoisseurs of art seeking to buy painting, art gallery could propose a great variety of original paintings for sale, including such interesting examples of art for sale as symbolic and decorative still life paintings, the images of fruit and vegetables, beautiful flowers or different other types that are popular nowadays.
