The magic of things : still-life painting, 1500-1800

Sander, Jochen2008
Books
There seems to be an endless number of deceptively real objects depicted in still lifes. However, the details of this genre are not exhausted in the delicate rendering of varying surfaces, because each pictorial element can also symbolize religious or moral content or be a reference to the irretrievability of time gone by tempus fugit! This volume presents, on large-format plates, a selection of works by some of the principal masters of the still-life genre.
