This painting displays Giuseppe’s immense talent at rendering dimly lit spaces and reflections of surfaces and textures within the space. This work is an oil painting on a canvas measuring 96.5 by 128.3 centimeters. The painting depicts a cat caught in the middle of taking an octopus tentacle away in its mouth. The cat is crouching on a crate surrounded by various fish and hammered copper wares that appear to have been pushed to the ground by the cat. The scene appears to be in a dark alleyway or interior room, with sharp lighting focusing on the cat. The lighting in the painting shows off Recco’s ability to realistically render a number of surfaces, including the iridescent scales of the fish and the metallic surfaces of the hammered copper illuminated in the dark scene. A Cat Stealing Fish demonstrates Recco’s skillful painting technique representative of Neapolitan still-life painting during the Baroque period. Furthermore, Recco painted the seaweed in the lower left corner of the painting into the shape of his initials (G R). <h2>A Cat Stealing Fish </h2> A Cat Stealing Fish was painted by Giuseppe Recco between 1667 and 1669.
