Crini roșii pe fond verde is a 1850 unspecified by Hrandt Avakian, depicting Green, held at National Museum of Art of Romania.
This painting shows bright red flowers with thick petals, clustered together. The leaves are dark green, almost black, and the stems are painted in swipes of blue and yellow-green. The brushstrokes are rough and thick, making the colors pop against a dark, muddy background. The flowers look almost too vivid, like they’re glowing. The way the paint is applied makes them feel alive and close-up. Look up impasto to see how artists use thick paint like this.
Hrandt Avakian (1900–1990) was an artist, born in Aleppo.
