静物画, or "still life painting," is a genre of art that focuses on inanimate objects. These objects can include items like fruits, flowers, vases, and everyday household items. The purpose of still life is to capture the beauty and details of these objects, often highlighting their textures, colors, and forms. Artists use various techniques in 静物画 to create depth and realism. By carefully arranging the objects and playing with light and shadow, they can evoke emotions and tell a story. This genre has been popular since the Renaissance and continues to be a significant form of artistic expression today.
