From the collection of Bucharest Municipality Museum
Trei îngeri cu crucea is a 1950 unspecified by Micaela Eleutheriade, held at Bucharest Municipality Museum.
The painting depicts three angels holding a cross, with one angel in the foreground and two others in the background. The angels are dressed in flowing robes, with the central angel wearing a red robe and the others wearing yellow and brown robes. The cross is dark and prominent, with the angels' faces and bodies visible as they hold it. The painting features a muted color palette, with shades of brown, yellow, and red dominating the scene. The background is dark and shadowy, with the angels and cross standing out against it. The overall effect is one of solemnity and reverence. The painting is a striking example of religious art, and its use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and drama.
