From the collection of National Museum in Kraków
Slaughtered Birds is a 1696 oil by Unknown, held at National Museum in Kraków.
This painting depicts a collection of dead birds, including a large goose with its wings spread out, lying on its back. The birds are arranged in a heap, with some of them overlapping each other. The background of the painting is dark and muted, with some greenery visible in the top-right corner. The painting's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and volume, with the birds appearing to be lit from the left side. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the feathers and beaks of the birds, which are rendered with great precision. The painting is a striking example of still life, and its use of chiaroscuro and attention to detail make it a compelling work.
