Flori is a 1882 unspecified by Nicolae Grigorescu, held at National Museum of Art of Romania.
This painting shows a messy, colorful cluster of flowers. The brushstrokes are thick and uneven, with white, pink, and yellow blooms mixed into dark greens and browns. It looks like the paint was slapped on quickly, leaving some spots rough and others slightly blurred. The flowers don’t stand out neatly—they blend into the background, making it hard to tell where one plant ends and another begins. The colors pop against the dark edges, but the whole thing feels a little chaotic. If you like this loose, textured style, look up impasto.
