Traditional 17th century Baroque Still Life paintings are adorned with objects that range widely from daily household items to luxury goods; these highly detailed, jewel-like paintings were often imbued with religious and allegorical symbolism that spoke to broader cultural interests. Many modern and contemporary artists have looked to this era for inspiration, including celebrated Sheboygan Falls-based glass artist Beth Lipman.
