Still life with fish, turkeys, veal head and plucked chickens - SOLD
Author : Bartolomeo Arbotori (Piacenza 1594 –1676)
Period: 17th century
Beautiful painting by the painter from Piacenza, Bartolomeo Arbotoni or Arbotori (Piacenza 1594 –1676); the composition is a typical work of the painter, who draws inspiration from the rich Flemish pantries: we find fish, a veal head, a knife placed on several horizontal levels, and a rag, a celery, and plucked chickens and turkeys hanging next to it on the table. Copper furnishings (baking sheet, basin and pot) and pewter plates are expertly used to define the depth of the spaces.
The painting is published in five volumes and has been known since 1973 in a private collection.
