Peisaj Veneția is a 1939 by Adam Bălțatu, held at Brukenthal National Museum.
The painting depicts a serene Venetian scene, with a row of buildings lining the water's edge. The structures are rendered in muted tones, with hints of red and green, and feature arched doorways and windows. A staircase leads down to a small boat, which is moored to a wooden post. The sky above is a soft blue, with wispy clouds. In the foreground, the boat's wooden hull is visible, along with the staircase's stone steps. The overall atmosphere is one of quiet tranquility, inviting the viewer to step into the peaceful world of the painting. For more works that explore the interplay of light and shadow, explore the technique of chiaroscuro.
