Vânătoare de urși is a 1857 unspecified by Henric Trenk, a Impressionism work, depicting Kniv, held at Bucharest Municipality Museum.
This painting shows a man standing over a large bear he has just killed. He wears a simple white tunic and holds a large rock above his head with both hands. The bear lies on its side, with blood dripping from its mouth. The man stands on a rocky outcropping, surrounded by trees and bushes. The painting's use of chiaroscuro creates a dramatic contrast between light and dark, drawing the viewer's eye to the central figure. The brushstrokes are loose and expressive, giving the scene a sense of energy and movement.

A 19th-century painter from Romania, Henric Trenk captured local life and mountain landscapes in oil.
