Top 3 Tabletop Accessories for a Still Life
Cezanne’s “Fruit and Jug on a Table”
Tabletop accessories always lend gravity to your tabletop. This is a tabletop that would be appropriate for one of Cezanne’s still lifes, your visitors will think. Here are some of the best ways to make your tabletop accessories ready to be painted as still lifes.
1. Flowers: Some of the earliest modern paintings that break away from the religious subjects that dominated art for hundreds of years were done by Northern Europeans. The Dutch specifically responded to the numerous new species of plants (the tulip, for example, imported from Turkey) and drew them in expensive vases.
2. Food: Probably the most classic still life subject, the bowl of fruit, has been painted since Roman times. Having a variety of color to fill your tabletop accessories is important, so choose grapes, apples, bananas, cantaloupes: the wider the variety, the more attractive, and tasty. Many painters depicted meats and delicacies like oysters and lobster, delicacies that followed after banquets.
3. Desk accessories: A clock, beverage dispensers, cups, saucers, bowls, dice, and other assorted bric-a-brac have been included in still lifes, including skulls, which are called memento morii, or, reminders of death. As far as impressing guests with your elegance and beauty goes, I’d stick with the first two options.
