Still Life - Caravaggio, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons
Objects have always been present in paintings but the necessary clutter of daily life came to be used by artists as a language of its own, symbolising complex and invisible ideas. This lecture charts the rise in popularity of independent still life paintings from the Renaissance to the present day, paying particular attention to its apotheosis in the 17th century.
