A beautiful book that argues artists were fascinated by still life
painting considerably earlier than previously thought This eloquent
and generously illustrated book asserts that artists were
fascinated by and extremely skilled at still life significantly
earlier than previously thought. Instead of the genre beginning in
the early 17th century, noted scholar David Ekserdjian explores its
origins in classical antiquity and the gradual re-emergence of
still life in Renaissance painting. The author presents a visual
anthology of finely executed flowers, fruit, food, household
objects, and furnishings seen in the background of paintings.
Paintings are reproduced in full and paired with detailed close-ups
of still-life elements within the work. Ekserdjian further examines
both the artistic and symbolic significance of a chosen detail, as
well as information about each artist's career. Featured works
include radiant paintings from Renaissance greats such as Da Vinci,
Durer, Holbein, Michelangelo, Raphael, and Van Eyck, as well as the
work of less-celebrated masters Barthelemy d'Eyck and Ortolano.
