Rodii is a 1966 by Hrandt Avakian, held at National Museum of Art of Romania.
This painting shows a bowl of pomegranates and grapes on a red-orange cloth. The fruit is bright red and deep purple, with one pomegranate split open. The background is a warm, faded yellow with loose brushstrokes. The artist used thick paint to make the colors pop, especially the red cloth. The way the light hits the fruit makes it look almost three-dimensional. Look up impasto to see how artists use thick paint like this.
Hrandt Avakian (1900–1990) was an artist, born in Aleppo.
