Peisaj is a 1938 by Dumitru Ghiață, held at National Museum of Art of Romania.
This painting shows a winding dirt road cutting through a countryside scene. Two small figures walk along the path, one wearing a bright red coat. The road is lined with trees, fields, and a few simple houses with red roofs. The colors are earthy—greens, browns, and muted reds—with thick, visible brushstrokes. The loose, rough style makes the scene feel quick and alive, almost like a sketch. The artist used bold strokes to show light and shadow, giving the landscape depth without smooth details. Next, look up impasto to see how thick paint can create texture in art.
