Description : Natura viva con uccelli
Oil on canvas. Tuscan school. The scene presents a group of birds of different species, which flutter around the branch of a tree on which there is a nest with some chirpy birds, fed by their mother; the diversity of size and colors of the species stands out, assorted in an unrealistic way, due to the coexistence of specimens belonging to different habitats, moreover in line with the pictorial production of the period, which for purely decorative purposes often created such mixtures. The work recalls in the compositional modality and in the atmosphere a Flemish style, probably referring to a foreign artist working in Italy; the sharpness of representation of the birds is appreciated, well characterized in their anatomical peculiarities. The painting, restored and relined, is presented in an antique gilded frame.
