  3. ART I UNDERSTANDING STILL LIFE • HISTORY The still life painting genre is as diverse as its history is long. From the times of the Egyptians when paintings of food and valuables were depicted on tomb walls to contemporary still life painting of today, the genre has always been one that artists turn to again and again. Objects that still life painters gravitate toward are also as varied, from items of the natural world to those crafted by human hands. Through them, still life art compositions articulate ideas about luxury and excess, religious symbolism, personal as well as allegorical explorations, and universal human reflections on life and death.
