Art History Benchmarks
Understanding still life
A quick guide to reading the artist's objects, symbols and intentions.
What's still life in painting?
A still life mainly represents inanimate elements: flowers, fruits, food, books, instruments, dishes, shells or everyday objects. The artist organizes them to work with light, textures, color, space and sometimes a symbolic message.
What is the difference between a still life and a vanity?
All vanity is still life, but not all still life is vanity. Skull, hourglass, candle, watch, withered flower or broken glass recall the passing of time and the fragility of earthly goods.
What do flowers, fruits and shells mean?
Flowers can evoke fragile beauty, fruits abundance or maturity, books knowledge, instruments arts and shells rarity or scientific curiosity. The historical context of the work remains decisive.
What are the most famous still lifes?
La Fruit basket from Caravaggio, The Ray de Chardin, Cézanne's apples and oranges, Van Gogh's bouquets and Dutch tables from the 17th century are among the most sought-after references.
Decorating tips
Which still life to choose depending on the room?
The subject, format and palette must interact with the furniture and light in your interior.
Choose your reproduction wisely
Three simple benchmarks
The room, proportions and palette determine the effect of the painting on your wall.
Choose atmosphere
A dark palette brings depth. Light flowers lighten the space. A tawny or cubist still life creates a more energetic contrast.
Adapt the format
A horizontal format accompanies a sideboard or table. A vertical structures a narrow wall. A square works well above a console.
Grant the frame
A gold or patinated frame highlights a classic or baroque work. A sober profile is suitable for impressionist, cubist or modern compositions.

Frequently asked questions
Before choosing your painting
Are reproductions printed?
No. Each painting is hand painted in oil on canvas.
How to choose a still life reproduction?
First choose the atmosphere: classic, bright, dark, colorful or modern. Then check the relationship between the format, furniture and width of the wall.
Which still life should you choose for a kitchen, dining room or living room?
Fruits, crockery and bodegones are suitable for a kitchen. Standing tables, drinks and bouquets work well in a dining room. A living room can accommodate a famous Dutch, abstract work or vanity.
Which format to favor?
A horizontal accompanies a sideboard, a vertical occupies a narrow wall and a square provides stability above a console.
How to associate the painting with the colors of the decoration?
Take a secondary hue from the painting in the textiles or use the work as a contrast. A dark palette structures a light wall, while a bright bouquet softens a deep interior.
Can a work appear in several collections?
Yes. The same painting can be at the same time a still life with fruits, a Dutch work, a vanity and a composition with glassware.
Can I request a work missing from the catalog?
Yes. Send the name of the work, artist, photograph or museum reference.
Can I choose a custom dimension?
Yes. Dimensions are adaptable up to 200 cm depending on the proportions of the work and technical feasibility.
Is the canvas delivered framed?
The paint is generally sent rolled to better protect it during transport.
