The still life painting is considered as an artistic genre equal to the landscape, the portrait, the genre scene and the history paintings.
Still life works deal with anything that is considered non-living or no longer living: food, fruit, flowers, game or various objects.
All of these elements are organized within a precise framework, thought out by the artist to create a symbolic and technical composition.
The objects, fruits and flowers are in painting, what words are for language, that is to say a signifier for a signified, or incire a precise concept.
According to the periods and cultures, the same object can cross several symbols.
Artists take into account these symbolic elements in their compositions, however the existence of contradictory meanings in the same symbolic object is not a problem.
Each of the objects represented can reveal its true meaning depending on the circumstances and its presentation in the works.
However, we must avoid giving painters too many intentions in the elaboration of their still life, at the risk of distorting the perception of what still life was once.
This symbolic vagueness offered an important freedom to these men of the Renaissance and modern times by leaving them the possibility of reading into it what is in conformity with their aspirations.
And you, what do you think the painter wanted to transcribe as a message?
