Still life is an ancient art form, enjoyed in Europe since the classical Greek and Roman times. As an individual genre, it came into its own in the late 16th century and has remained significant ever since. As a subject matter, it can be deceptively simple or imbued with complex layers of meanings. Artistically, it allows the artist more freedom, especially with compositional values. For example, the audience is less likely to take offence if the bowl of fruit or a vase of flowers are not arranged well, but a badly arranged group of apostles can cause a lot of problems for the artist.<\/p>\n
