Begonie și gutuie is a 1850 by Hrandt Avakian, depicting Blue, held at National Museum of Art of Romania.
This painting shows a simple still life with a potted plant and a bowl of fruit. The plant has thick, dark leaves and a thin red stem. The fruit in the bowl looks yellow and slightly fuzzy. The background is a warm orange-red, and the table is a flat red color. The brushstrokes are thick and textured, almost like the paint was slapped on. This technique makes the colors pop and gives the painting a rough, lively feel. If you like this style, look up impasto.
Hrandt Avakian (1900–1990) was an artist, born in Aleppo.
