A Brief Glimpse of Life via Still Life Illustrations

A still life illustration depicts the inanimate subject in an artistic way. The art originated in the 16th century with the Graeco-Roman art and has been popular ever since. In the early stages, the artist use to depict religious symbols or other allegoric symbols. However, the still life illustration now includes a wide range of objects such as fruits, flowers, plants, shells, rocks and sometimes even the dead bodies.

The still life illustration gives the still life artist more scope to arrange the various elements as per the requirement of their composition as it is quite distinct from the portraits and landscape art. The modern day art of still life works ranges from simple art on paper to complex 2D and lively 3D illustrations that are used to produce a distinct media mix such as computer graphics and more.

The botanical illustrations are often used as fashion illustrations as well. While the dead animals works are termed as Flemish Baroque, depicting live zoological works is considered as animal art.

Still life has been popular for the still life artists are able to produce depiction of real life in still that people can relate to. It is like a slice of life that is being served on the platter of memory via the medium of canvas.


More than often, a still life work depicts an exclusive background. A still life artist normally keeps aesthetic as the primary point of appeal than the illustrative concerns.
