The
genre of still life painting has been around since antiquity, adorning
the interiors of well-to-do family homes and the tombs in Egypt, Greece
or Rome. Discoveries of mural paintings and mosaics have been made that
show a great variety of food, fruits, flowers and animals, placed there
in the hope that these would become real in the afterlife, ready for the
dead to make use of them. The still life genre was to attain great
relevance in the 16th Century in Baroque painting, and today remains one
of the most representative genres of modern painting. Below you will
find a list of international artists whose still life paintings and
their original works can be purchased on Gaudifond Arte, at process to
