The art genre of still life has its origins in antiquity, but experienced its real heyday in the early modern period, particularly in the 16th and 17th centuries. The term "still life" was first coined in the 17th century and describes paintings that depict inanimate objects such as flowers, fruit, glasses, books or dead animals. Today, still lifes are not only a fascinating window into past everyday cultures, but also an important part of art history that continues to inspire artists to this day.
