1850
From the collection of Bucharest Municipality Museum
Ghivece cu flori is a 1850 by Theodor Aman, held at Bucharest Municipality Museum.
This painting shows two small garden scenes with potted plants. On the left, bright red and white flowers grow in a clay pot next to a stone wall. The ground looks wet, and the brushstrokes are thick, almost messy. On the right, a bushy green plant with small pink flowers sits in another pot, with more plants climbing up a wooden trellis. The paint is applied in heavy, textured strokes—some areas look almost three-dimensional. This technique makes the plants feel real and alive, even though the background is simple. If you like this style, look up impasto next.
Theodor Aman (20 March 1831 – 19 August 1891) was a Romanian painter, engraver and art professor. He mostly produced genre and history scenes.
