Turnul Bărboi is a 1955 by Agafiței Costache, depicting House, held at Moldova National Museum Complex.
This painting shows a tall, white church tower with arched windows and a simple cross on top. In front of it, there’s a small building with a red roof and a tree with yellow-green leaves. The sky is light blue with quick, loose brushstrokes, and the grass below is painted in short, green strokes. A few people are walking near the church, but they’re small and blurry. The brushwork is thick and textured, especially on the tower and tree, giving it a rough, almost sketchy look. The colors are bright but not detailed, like the artist worked fast to capture the light. If you like this style, look up impasto.
Agafiței Costache made prints and paintings of everyday Romanian life in the mid-20th century.
