Dead Nature

Still life developed as a separate category in the Netherlands in the last quarter of the 16th century and the English term derives from stilleven: still life, which is a calque while Romance languages (and Russian) tend to use terms meaning dead nature.

So one autumn day I tried to take a photograph in the spirit of great Dutch and Flemish painters. Just for fun, just to try things. (it is not my cup of thee but you can learn of it)
