NATURĂ STATICĂ CU CĂRȚI ȘI FLORI is a 1850 by Nicolae Dărăscu, held at National Museum of Art of Romania.
This painting shows a bright bouquet of flowers in a dark blue vase. The flowers are mostly red and orange with some green leaves, all painted in thick, visible brushstrokes. The vase sits on a wooden table with a white cloth underneath, and the background is a soft gray-blue. The brushwork is loose and textured, making the flowers look almost alive. The colors pop against the muted background, drawing your eye right to the flowers. If you like this style, look up impasto next.
Nicolae Dărăscu was a Romanian painter. He was influenced by Impressionism and Neo-impressionism.
