1950
unspecified
From the collection of National Museum of Art of Romania
La marginea Covasnei is a 1950 unspecified by Micaela Eleutheriade, held at National Museum of Art of Romania.
This painting shows a quiet village nestled in rolling hills. Small houses with thatched roofs and wooden fences dot the landscape. Trees and fields stretch out toward distant mountains, and the sky is soft with light clouds. A few animals graze near the homes, and the colors are warm but muted, like earth and grass. The artist used thick, textured brushstrokes to give the scene depth, especially in the trees and hills. This technique makes the painting feel almost three-dimensional. Look up impasto next to see how artists use thick paint like this.
Micaela Eleutheriade (1900–1982) was a noted Romanian painter and engraver. She was a descendant, through her mother, of the painter Gheorghe Tattarescu, the pioneer of neoclassicism in Romania.
