PEISAJ CITADIN is a 1941 unspecified by Micaela Eleutheriade, depicting Urban Landscap, held at National Museum of Art of Romania.
This painting shows a row of old buildings with rough, white walls and dark roofs. The structures are stacked close together, with small windows and a few chimneys. In front, a green roof juts out, holding three small pots with plants. The brushstrokes are thick and uneven, giving the scene a textured, almost sketchy look. The buildings look worn, like they’ve been there for a long time. The artist didn’t smooth out the paint—it’s rough in spots, especially on the roofs and walls. Next, look up impasto 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.
