Still Life Paintings are not Still |
|||||||
Still life paintings have a style all of their own, in that they are able to depict still objects that have as much life in them as moving things. Whether it is flowers, drinking glasses, rocks or even animals, still life will introduce you to a world of art that you never knew existed. For a better grasp of some of the masterpieces introduced in this field, here are some of the most well-known still life paintings and the reasons they are so popular. Some of these are classics in museum, while others are underrated marvels that have been passed up through their lifespan.
Fruit Still LifeFrench painter Henri Fantin-Latour specialized in still life paintings, usually containing flowers. It can be said that he has probably the most diverse library of still life oil paintings of his time. Most notable is ‘Still Life with Flowers and Fruit’ from 1866, featuring a fruit basket and flowers on a desk. The flowers are bland enough that they blend in the background, mostly white and off white in color. Looking at the desk it is the same way, so that leaves the color burst to come from the fruit on the table and in the basket. They are the perfect blend of 4-5 different colors, and bring out the life of the entire still life painting. But if you’re looking for something that uses the fruit as both the strength of the art painting in both the background and foreground, then ‘Apples in a Basket on a Table’ is probably the perfect example of what Still Life is all about. Playing with the colors a bit, the basket full of fruit is just as appetizing as the ones on the table. It is a perfect mix and harmony of colors that shows off Henri Fantin-Latour’s true skill on still life painting.Another French painter that had different roots than Henri was Gustave Caillebotte. Very few were good at bringing life to inanimate objects on canvas as he was. His fruit still life paintings captured the imagination, and in the case of ‘Fruit Displayed On A Stand’, his work serves as a launching point for many young artists careers. This still life artwork of his was a great achievement in its simplicity and display of colors. If you consider the large palette of colors used, this would function great as a tutorial for aspiring painters. Flowers Still LifeHenri Fantin-Latour owns the Still Life category, producing such works as ‘Still Life With Pansies’, a lovely painting that adds some unforgettable combinations all on one canvas. As if it was his trademark, in the oil painting to the far right is his signature fruit. The best parts of this still life painting is the use of black with some of the flowers. It is so well done that the petals come off looking like butterflies in camouflage.Paul Gauguin did a superb job with similar colors in his painting ‘Still Life with Mandolin’. Hailing from the Impressionism period, the colors are dulled out in comparison to other Still Life paintings that explode with color. The effect is very hard to create, and even though there are more colors in this painting than in many of his other works, there is something favorable about the way they are used here. Even the vase takes on a life of its own in this painting, with the portrait that is hung in the background working as the perfect backdrop for the still life painting. Food Still LifeGustave Caillebotte painted Hors d'Oeuvres that looked so appetizing that you would have sworn they were real. His painting ‘Hors d Oeuvre’ has a very passive look about it, but one that is unforgettable with his touch. Because of this, it forces the user to make use of their imagination enough that it entices the other senses. This is the true nature of still life paintings, and Gustave nailed it with this work.One of the all-time masters of Still Life was Jean-Baptiste-Siméon Chardin, who was a master at bringing life to regular everyday objects. His representation of Still Life with the painting ‘Fast’ not only was masterfully done from a technical point of view, but had a religious subtlety for some people even if it wasn’t intentional. The still life painting with the seafood, eggs and cooking instruments brings along different memories depending on which person you are talking to. Wine and Drinks Still LifeDedicated solely to works surrounding Still Life, Willem Claeszoon Heda was a rare treat in the Dutch Golden Age that excelled in the late breakfast genre. Looking at ‘PieDet’ it is one of the many incredible still life oil paintings by Willem, and even by today’s standards is an impressive piece of artwork. Colors are masterfully blended to give the goblet in the picture a photorealistic look, complete with realistic water in the background glass and shadows and lights playing about where necessary. Even the mirror image of the bottom of the goblet on the tray is done correctly, in a way that shows how many hours were put into the oil painting.Once again showing that he was ahead of his time, Willem painted ‘Still Life With Pie Silver Ewer And Crab’. The scale is much larger in this artwork, and gives off a much bigger spread than many of his previous still life paintings. In it there is bread, food, cutlery, his signature goblet, fruit and many other items on a busy table. The easiest thing to get distracted with in the painting is the pure amount of chaos on one table, leaving a lot of what if’s in the mind of anyone looking at the oil painting. Was the person eating at the table sudden in a rush? Did the server forget to clean up afterwards? With so much going on in one painting, it is another great definition of what great Still Life looks like. SummaryAll of the objects in still life paintings are made to be as alive as the objects they are representing in real life. Through the mastery of the painter, this is possible and some great masterpieces have been created. Still life paintings are still popular and continue to bring life to the art world when needed. |
