1926
From the collection of National Museum of Art of Romania
Peștii roșii is a 1926 by Marius Bunescu, held at National Museum of Art of Romania.
This painting shows a simple scene: a white plate with two bright red fish, a yellow lemon, and a small jar with a white lid on a rough wooden table. The brushstrokes are thick and visible, especially on the fish and lemon, giving them a textured look. The background is dark and blurry, making the colors pop. The fish look almost too real, with their scales and gills painted in quick, bold strokes. The lemon’s yellow stands out against the red plate, which sits slightly tilted on the table. If you like this style, check out the technique: impasto.
Marius Bunescu (15 May 1881 – 31 March 1971) was a Romanian painter, organizer of the National Museum of Art, and director of the Anastase Simu Museum.
