Features: Still life painting, as an independent genre of art, was only established in the 17th century. Through the efforts of Dutch painters, it underwent transformation in the mid-19th century and has since evolved uncontrollably. Impressionism, Modernism, Symbolism, Fauvism, Expressionism, and Surrealism flourished, producing a succession of masterpieces. For example, Kras's "Still Life" immerses viewers with its faithful colors and precise light and shadow; Cézanne's "Basket of Apples" creates a sense of depth with its rigorous coloration and thick brushstrokes; Van Gogh's "Sunflowers" reveals the artist's intense passion through bold strokes and simple color contrasts.
