Genre Scenes & Still Life Collection
Christopher spent much of his time outdoors where he was passionate about observing people, their actions, behaviours, dialect, and emotions. He would enjoy conversing with subjects. During the later years of his life, Christopher lived a somewhat sedentary lifestyle when compared to his past and would illustrate inanimate objects often from the comfort of his armchair at his home in Leighton Buzzard and while progressing with his journals.
Genre Art is scene of everyday life, depicting real life in action with people at work or having fun. Intimate scenes of daily life, costumes, domestic settings, interiors, celebrations, tavern scenes, markets, and other street situations are depicted in these works. It could also depict a busy street, a dinner gathering, or any place where living goes on. Still Life paintings feature an arrangement of inanimate everyday objects laid out on a table or similar surface.
