1972
From the collection of National Museum of Art of Romania
Menhire la Carnac (Franta) is a 1972 by Micaela Eleutheriade, held at National Museum of Art of Romania.
This painting shows a row of tall, skinny stones standing in a grassy field. The stones are dark and uneven, some leaning slightly. In the background, there’s a small building and a fence, with a pale sky above. The brushstrokes are loose and quick, giving the scene a rough, sketchy feel. The colors are mostly earthy—greens, browns, and yellows—with a few patches of brighter green where the grass is. 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.
