Hanul Pașalâcu is a 1923 unspecified by Nicolae Dărăscu, a Romanesque work, held at National Museum of Art of Romania.
This painting shows a two-story wooden house with uneven floors and balconies. The building looks old, with rough beams and peeling walls. Inside, two people sit at a table near the windows, one reading or writing. The colors are mostly muted—blues, grays, and browns—with some bright spots from the light. The brushstrokes are thick and visible, giving the wood and walls a textured look. It feels like the artist wanted to show the real, worn-down quality of the place. Next, look up impasto to see how this painting’s texture works.
Nicolae Dărăscu was a Romanian painter. He was influenced by Impressionism and Neo-impressionism.
