Two display examples of this are Dutch Golden Age still life painter, Pieter Claesz (executed works include ‘Vanitas with Violin and Glass Ball’ and ‘Nature morte au crabe’), and British, eccentric, contemporary artist, Damien Hirst (creator of iconic works ‘The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living’ and ‘Chicken’).…
