Still Life Art
Still Life Paintings at ars mundi – Special Features of the Collection
Still lifes developed into an independent genre from the 16th century onwards. Today, they are an integral part of art – both retrospectively and with a focus on the current art scene. At ars mundi, you will discover numerous works and reproductions from other epochs in addition to modern still life painting:
Let yourself be enchanted by the famous works of renowned artists such as Vincent van Gogh, Claude Monet and Pablo Picasso. Or discover contemporary unique pieces by Bettina Moras or Anne Böddeker.
The technical diversity is also outstanding: originals painted with oil or acrylic, prints, Dietz replicas or Giclée – all this and much more can be found in our selection of still life paintings.
| Tip: At ars mundi, diversity is reflected in all its facets: In addition to classic reproductions, we offer numerous limited editions, exclusive collections as well as hand-signed originals. The selection is correspondingly large for collectors as well. |
Buying Still Lifes – Tips for Choosing
Are you interested in a still life painting with flowers or a still life painting with fruit? To find the right still life artwork, we recommend considering several aspects:
- Define the motif: Decide for yourself – paintings with food as the motif, complex table scenes or object arrangements. Keep the room and atmosphere in mind.
- Choose a style: Impressionist still life paintings by Paul Cézanne or expressionist art by August Macke – commit to a style, as colour palettes, brushwork and expressive power vary.
- Check the spatial effect: Our configurator gives you the opportunity to review colour and motif choices in a realistic room view. Use our templates or upload your own picture to decide whether a classic Baroque still life painting or modern still life painting suits you better.
Staging Still Life Paintings Correctly – It's That Simple
To ensure still life paintings have the desired effect, the following tips are helpful:
Place the centre of the picture at eye level. This allows the viewer to fully absorb the effect of the motif.
Large-format paintings require space. Square or mini sizes, on the other hand, work well in sets or in the Petersburg hanging (classic salon hanging).
Light makes colours shine. Natural light highlights motifs and colours differently from artificial light. Spotlights that illuminate the object optimally bring all details into focus.
More tips can be found in our guide "How to hang pictures correctly".
| Note: To further personalise the presentation, you can adjust the framing for many still life paintings. The available options can be found in the detailed view on the product page. |
