Pădure de mesteacăn is a 1850 unspecified by Hrandt Avakian, depicting Forest, held at National Museum of Art of Romania.
This painting shows a tight cluster of tall birch trees with pale, peeling bark. The trunks stand close together, their white stems contrasting against a thicket of green leaves. Sunlight filters through the branches, casting dappled light on the forest floor, which is a mix of earthy browns and yellows. The brushstrokes are thick and textured, almost like you could feel the rough bark or the soft leaves. The colors feel natural but are applied in bold, uneven strokes, giving the painting a lively, almost rough look. If you like this style, check out impasto to see how artists use thick paint for texture.
Hrandt Avakian (1900–1990) was an artist, born in Aleppo.
