Francisco Goya's "Dead Turkey" (1812) is a still life painting that depicts a dead turkey lying on a table. The painting is known for its realistic depiction of the turkey, with its detailed feathers and the way its skin has begun to discolor. The stark contrast between the dark background and the bright colors of the turkey draws the viewer's attention to the subject matter. The painting can be interpreted as a commentary on the fragility of life and the inevitability of death. The artwork is currently on display in the Museo del Prado in Madrid, Spain.
