Piața San Marco is a 1930 unspecified by Lucia Demetriade-Bălăcescu, held at National Museum of Romanian Literature.
This painting shows a busy square with people walking around. In the center, two men in dark uniforms with hats stand near a tall, skinny column topped with a black bird. To the right, a sailor in white walks a dog, and a few pigeons scatter on the ground. Behind them, a building with arched windows and a red-roofed tower rises, while a gondola glides on a canal. The bright colors and simple shapes make the scene feel lively but a bit flat. The artist used bold outlines and flat colors, almost like a sketch come to life. If you like this style, look up Demetriade-Bălăcescu, Lucia.
Lucia Demetriade-Bălăcescu painted city scenes and rural life in the 1920s and 1930s.
