Browse these still-life oil painting reproductions of floral arrangements, fruit bowls and kitchen items seen from the perspectives of creative, thoughtful minds.
All great artists begin their careers with learning how to paint the “still life”, a painting of an inanimate object whose shading and detail must be captured after hours of laborious practice. Even after conquering this challenge, many accomplished artists continue to paint still-life because they offer the artist much more creative leeway than a landscape or portrait can. overstockArt has a large collection of still-life paintings that are much more than just practice sketches by unknown artists, but rather unique takes on inanimate objects done by already-masterful painters. Browse these still-life oil painting reproductions of the classic floral arrangements, fruit bowls and kitchen items seen from the point of views of art history’s most creative, thoughtful minds. Still-life paintings began as far back as the time of the ancient Egyptian tombs and ancient Greek mosaics. By the 16th century, paintings of food and flowers represented the importance of the five senses, while objects such as the skull would be placed into the paintings as well to symbolize inevitable death of all humans. Oil paintings of flowers done in a realist style became somewhat of a craze, and many of these most famous works were created. By the 18th century, religious and allegorical connections that had long been popular in still-life painting were dropped in favor of still-life themes as we know them today: breakfast tables, flower arrangements and the occasional skull, book or vase. As the 1800s ended and the 1900s began, the Impressionists began to take over the still-life genre, continuing the paint flowers and fruits in a somewhat realistic manner, but using colors that were highly unrealistic and surprising. overstockArt’s selection of reproductions of the most famous still-life paintings includes a sample of works from these later years in still-life painting. Paul Cezanne’s elaborate table sets with draped fabrics, fruits and glassware done in his signature Post-Impressionist style feature bold, visible brush strokes combined with realistic color schemes. Cezanne also created still-life oil paintings with skulls to symbolize the impermanence of human life. overstockArt’s reproductions of these famous still-life works by artists like Cezanne, Renoir and Van Gogh are all hand painted on artist-grade canvas, with each original detail recreated to give you the most authentic still-life oil painting at a competitive value.
Quality customer service is key to customer satisfaction. Overstock.art is a shining example of this. They resolved my issue beyond what I expected and I am a very happy customer. My painting is beyond beautiful, too! I'll order from them again!
We received two of the three pieces and are truly impressed. The frames are beautiful and well-made. We had an issue with a coupon and overstockArt.com was accommodating and resolved the matter immediately. We look forward to receiving our third piece and will definitely use this website in the future!
LOVE overstockArt! They have TONS of choices in artwork and frames, they are fast, they are beautiful! I only wish I'd discovered them SOONER! You will not be disappointed!
Art was delivered faster than expected. The paintings and frames were just as described on the website. They were packaged well for shipping. Awesome Job! Very nice quality.
The artwork by Modigliani, Manet and Munch looked fantastic. Very happy customer. Thank you so much.
I have bought several works that were reproduced by overstockArt and was happy with all of them. The Klimts were amazing in detail and texture. They all came with the proper hanging screws, as I got them all pre-framed. For quality at a reasonable price overstockArt is the way to go!
I don't normally buy prints but took a chance on this and I absolutely LOVE it! It's hanging in an area filled with oil paintings and it still stands out as a star!
Highly recommend this if you are looking for something fun and cheerful to brighten up a space. I just love it!
I have purchased 3 handmade oil paintings from overstockArt and have had extremely positive results with each transaction. The products are breathtakingly gorgeous and they are packaged with a high attention to detail so as to not be ruined during and upon transit. The customer service is very quick to respond to questions and problems with orders via internet.
