If you plug the simple phrase "still life" into the Search feature at Google Art Project, a total of 843 art works will be returned! Not surprisingly, a great many will be lovely. Works include the classical and the modern, and were done by the famous and the obscure. A true treasure house.
There are so many wonderful works in this large selection that it would be impossible to choose a 'best' or 'most beautiful.' It would be hard, in fact, even to choose a top 'personal favorite.' If I really, really had to choose just one, though, it would probably be Flower Still Life, done in 1614 by Ambrosius Bosschaert the Elder.
