Veneția is a 1926 by Nicolae Dărăscu, depicting canal, held at Bucharest Municipality Museum.
This painting shows a busy waterway lined with boats. The boats have tall, striped sails and some are docked near a stone quay. In the background, there’s a building with a tall tower and a bridge connecting two parts of the city. The colors are warm and earthy, with dark shadows and bright spots of light. The brushstrokes are thick and textured, almost like the artist hurried or worked roughly. It feels less polished than many other paintings. Look up impasto next to see how artists use thick paint like this.
