Still life is one of the principal genres of visual art, and essentially includes subjects that do not move. These can be all kinds of natural objects, most commonly fruits and flowers, but also man-made items. Still life artworks usually celebrate material pleasures such as food and wine, but sometimes also act as a warning of the ephemerality of these pleasures and of human life itself.
