Pești și ceapă is a work by Alexander Adriaenssen, a Baroque work, held at Brukenthal National Museum.
This painting shows a big fish with a golden-brown body resting on smaller fish. Behind it, a few red onions and a feather lie on a dark background. The fish look real—you can almost see their scales and wet skin. The onions and feather feel like they were tossed in casually, almost like leftovers. The way the light hits the fish makes them stand out against the dark. Look up chiaroscuro to see how artists use light and shadow like this.
