Manlio Alfieri – Signed Oil Painting On Canvas – Still Life With Scorpionfish And Anchovies

A still life of great compositional balance by Manlio Alfieri, in which the artist interprets a classic theme of the Mediterranean painting tradition with sensitivity and immediacy.
In the foreground, on a tablecloth in warm, luminous tones, a scorpionfish and a group of anchovies are arranged naturally, rendered with lively, textured brushstrokes that convey freshness and realism. In the background, a fruit arrangement—dominated by pomegranates in intense colors—creates a refined chromatic contrast, balancing the scene with softer, more atmospheric tones.
The work is striking for the quality of its light and the harmony of its colors, elements that lend depth and character to the whole, while maintaining a pleasant visual immediacy.

Signed painting, set in a period frame that further enhances its presence.
An interesting piece for those who appreciate 20th-century Italian still life, capable of uniting tradition and modern sensibility.
