Oil painting on canvas by Alfredo Mahieux depicting a still life with pheasant, 1960s. Mahieux's works are a tribute to the classics of painting, echoes of suggestions that are always alive in the collective imagination, peculiar in their subjects and colors. This painting is a clear example of the mastery Mahieux puts into the making of his works: great attention to detail, a skillful use of colors, and an overall picture well blended in themes and tones. It is a work that, beyond its objective artistic beauty, revives an ancient and passionate way of making art, but one that is unlikely to cease to arouse interest.
