Veneția is a 1960 by Corneliu Baba, held at National Museum of Art of Romania.
This painting shows two red buildings with rough, uneven walls. The paint looks thick and messy, with dark shadows and patches of white and brown. A boat sits in the bottom right corner, and the sky above is a pale, smudged blue. The buildings have big, empty windows that look like they’re falling apart. The paint is applied in heavy, visible strokes—almost like it was slapped on the canvas. If you like this style, check out impasto.
