Even today this is a popular trend. These objects served as grim reminders of the briefness of life and a subtle warning that worldly possessions do not follow you into the afterlife.

I have been to Still Life and for massage therapy, times in the last couple of months and have had a great experience every single time. It's a very peaceful and positive environment. I also love that they have a separate area for after your sessions where you can sit and relax and have some tea or water, allowing you to unwind further and not feel rushed out upon leaving.
It's really a great place! Especially popular in this period were vanitas paintings, in which sumptuous arrangements of fruit and flowers, books, statuettes, vases, coins, jewelry, paintings, musical and scientific instruments, military insignia, fine silver and crystal, were accompanied by symbolic reminders of life's impermanence. Additionally, a skull, an hourglass or pocket watch, a candle burning down or a book with pages turning, would serve as a moralizing message on the ephemerality of sensory pleasures.
Often some of the fruits and flowers themselves would be shown starting to spoil or fade to emphasize the same point. Cornelis Norbertus Gysbrechts c. Jan Philip van Thielen — , Vase of Flowers c. Maria van Oosterwijk , Vanitas-Still Life Jan Jansz. Lubin Baugin c. Another type of still life, known as ontbijtjes or "breakfast paintings", represent both a literal presentation of delicacies that the upper class might enjoy and a religious reminder to avoid gluttony.
The Netherlandish production of still lifes was enormous, and they were very widely exported, especially to northern Europe; Britain hardly produced any itself. German still life followed closely the Dutch models; Georg Flegel was a pioneer in pure still life without figures and created the compositional innovation of placing detailed objects in cabinets, cupboards, and display cases, and producing simultaneous multiple views. Ambrosius Bosschaert — , Still-Life of Flowers Pieter Claesz c.
Jan Davidsz. Peter Binoit , , Skokloster Castle. Starting in the Baroque period, such paintings became popular in Spain in the second quarter of the 17th century. The tradition of still-life painting appears to have started and was far more popular in the contemporary Low Countries , today Belgium and Netherlands then Flemish and Dutch artists , than it ever was in southern Europe. In Spain there were much fewer patrons for this sort of thing, but a type of breakfast piece did become popular, featuring a few objects of food and tableware laid on a table.
Still-life painting in Spain, also called bodegones , was austere. It differed from Dutch still life, which often contained rich banquets surrounded by ornate and luxurious items of fabric or glass. The game in Spanish paintings is often plain dead animals still waiting to be skinned. The fruits and vegetables are uncooked. The backgrounds are bleak or plain wood geometric blocks, often creating a surrealist air. Even while both Dutch and Spanish still life often had an embedded moral purpose, the austerity, which some find akin to the bleakness of some of the Spanish plateaus, appears to reject the sensual pleasures, plenitude, and luxury of Dutch still-life paintings.
Even though Italian still-life painting in Italian referred to as natura morta , "dead nature" was gaining in popularity, it remained historically less respected than the "grand manner" painting of historical, religious, and mythic subjects. On the other hand, successful Italian still-life artists found ample patronage in their day. Many leading Italian artists in other genre, also produced some still-life paintings.
In particular, Caravaggio applied his influential form of naturalism to still life. His Basket of Fruit c. Jan Bruegel painted his Large Milan Bouquet for the cardinal, as well, claiming that he painted it 'fatta tutti del natturel' made all from nature and he charged extra for the extra effort. Among other Italian still life, Bernardo Strozzi 's The Cook is a "kitchen scene" in the Dutch manner, which is both a detailed portrait of a cook and the game birds she is preparing.
In Catholic Italy and Spain, the pure vanitas painting was rare, and there were far fewer still-life specialists. In Southern Europe there is more employment of the soft naturalism of Caravaggio and less emphasis on hyper-realism in comparison with Northern European styles. Fede Galizia — , Apples in a Dish c. Fede Galizia , — , Maiolica Basket of Fruit c.
The 18th century to a large extent continued to refine 17th-century formulae, and levels of production decreased. In the Rococo style floral decoration became far more common on porcelain , wallpaper , fabrics and carved wood furnishings, so that buyers preferred their paintings to have figures for a contrast. One change was a new enthusiasm among French painters, who now form a large proportion of the most notable artists, while the English remained content to import.
Jean-Baptiste Chardin painted small and simple assemblies of food and objects in a most subtle style that both built on the Dutch Golden Age masters, and was to be very influential on 19th-century compositions. Dead game subjects continued to be popular, especially for hunting lodges; most specialists also painted live animal subjects. Jean-Baptiste Oudry combined superb renderings of the textures of fur and feather with simple backgrounds, often the plain white of a lime-washed larder wall, that showed them off to advantage.
