Still life - the image of inanimate objects: it can be household items, products, hunter's prey, flowers and much more. Accordingly, there are many types of still life.
As an independent genre, it did not stand out immediately, initially images of tables with viands and other objects were included in other genres. But such images were in Ancient Greece and Ancient Egypt.
In the 17th century, thanks to the popularity among Dutch and Flemish artists, this genre becomes independent.
In this period, in the Baroque era, still life is most interesting for its symbolism. (links to information about it are attached below)
After all, the subjects for still life were not selected randomly, each of them is a symbol, a sign, and the totality of these subjects-signs gave the viewer a certain message from the author: the thought of the transience of time, the sinfulness of existence or it could be a story about the owner of the still life.
By the way, for a long time still life was referred to "low" genres, it was not considered important and necessary, and the emergence of such symbolism contributed to the opposition to this mouth.
