Flori și măr is a 1850 unspecified by Hrandt Avakian, depicting Blue, held at National Museum of Art of Romania.
This painting shows a simple still life: a tall vase with a loose bunch of flowers—some pink, some white—and a round fruit, maybe an apple, sitting on a dark table. The background is a flat, soft blue, and the brushstrokes are thick and messy, especially on the flowers. The vase looks a little rough and uneven, like it’s made of glass but not perfectly smooth. The flowers aren’t perfectly drawn—they’re blurry and smudged, almost like they’re fading. The artist didn’t try to make everything look real; instead, the colors and shapes feel quick and alive. If you like this loose, expressive style, look up impasto.
Hrandt Avakian (1900–1990) was an artist, born in Aleppo.
