"Still Life with Palette" by Roy Lichtenstein
I find Roy Lichtenstein's work very entertaining. It hardly even looks painted.What are your thoughts? Would you consider this a still- life painting?
Paintings of the "Dutch Golden Age"
"Still Life with Dead Birds" by Elias Vonck
"Still Life with Fruit and Ham" by Jan Davidszoon de Heem
"Still Life with Flowers" by Willem van Aelst
"Still Life with Burning Candle" by Pieter Claesz
Each of these paintings is full of symbolic elements. I encourage you to research the concept of "vanitas". It's very interesting, and will explain what many common features in this painting (candles, shellfish, citrus fruit, books, flowers, etc.) actually symbolize.
