These may look like still life paintings by the Old Masters, but they are meticulously arranged

photographs by American artist Paulette Tavormina.

Her sumptuous photographs inspired by 17th century Dutch, Spanish and Italian Old Master still life

painters Giovanna Garzoni, Francesco de Zurbarán, and Adriaen Coorte .

Tavormina's photography is much more than just natura morta ('dead nature'). Ripe fruits and

wilting flowers overflow from bowls, plates and tables, teetering on the precipice between life and

death.
