Dominant colour
Madonă is a 1870 unspecified by Sava Henția, a Byzantine icon painting work, depicting Putti, held at Bucharest Municipality Museum.
This painting shows a woman in a long dress holding a baby. The colors are soft and the light looks gentle. It’s a quiet scene, not dramatic. The artist painted it in 1870. That’s early for the style we see here. The brush strokes are loose and the colors blend smoothly. See how the light falls on the fabric? That’s called sfumato. It blurs edges softly. Look up sfumato next.
Sava Henția (1 February 1848, Sebeșel - 21 February 1904, Sebeșel) was an Imperial Austrian-born Romanian painter, decorator and illustrator.
