Crizanteme galbene is a 1850 by Hrandt Avakian, depicting chrysanthemum, held at National Museum of Art of Romania.
This painting shows a dark blue vase with a handle, filled with bright yellow flowers and green leaves. The background is a warm orange-red, with brushstrokes that look quick and loose. The flowers spill over the sides of the vase, making the whole scene feel lively. The artist used thick, visible brushstrokes—some areas look almost textured, like you could feel the paint. The bright yellow flowers stand out against the deep blue vase and warm wall. If you like this style, look up impasto to see how artists build up paint for that bold effect.
