David Ekserdjian
This richly illustrated book challenges the traditional view of still life as a genre emerging in the early 17th century. Scholar David Ekserdjian traces its roots back to classical antiquity and its gradual re-emergence during the Renaissance. The volume presents a visual anthology of meticulously rendered flowers, fruits, food, and domestic objects found within paintings. It showcases full reproductions of artworks alongside detailed close-ups of their still-life elements.
