The term "still life" is used to describe an inanimate painting of subjects like: [[flower]]s (''bouquet''), vases, jars, fruits, bottles, shells, dead animals, glasses, jewelery, objets d'[[art]], jewelry boxes, opera glasses, gloves, books, familiar objects, knifes, etc. While still life painting can be traced back to the ancient Egyptians, it was only with the Dutch painters of the 17th century that it came into its own as a [[painting]] genre.
