What is a still life?• A still life (plural still lifes)

– is a work of art depicting mostly inanimate subject matter. Objects are typically commonplace objects which may be either natural (food, flowers, plants, rocks, or shells) or man-made (drinking glasses, books, vases, jewelry, coins, and so on) in an

artificial setting.

• Animate means – that which lives or moves, as

opposed to inanimate, that which doesn't live or move.

Still Life Origin• Nature morte- Dead nature

(French)

• ‘Stilleven’- Dutch.

What is a still life? The name still life comes from the Dutch stilleven - meaning inanimate objects - the more morbid French name is nature morte.
