1871
From the collection of Bucharest Municipality Museum
Dominant colour
Corbaie în portul Constanța is a 1871 by Theodor Aman, held at Bucharest Municipality Museum.
This print shows a quiet harbor scene with a few boats tied up at wooden docks. The water is calm, and the boats have simple sails—one with a red flag and another with a blue-and-white one. The background is hazy, with a faint outline of buildings or ships in the distance. The brushstrokes are loose, giving the scene a rough, sketchy feel. The colors are muted, with blues and grays dominating, but there’s a small splash of bright red on one of the boats. Look up impasto next to see how thick paint can create texture like this.
Theodor Aman (20 March 1831 – 19 August 1891) was a Romanian painter, engraver and art professor. He mostly produced genre and history scenes.
