Catedrala Notre- Dame, Paris is a 1935 unspecified by Lucian Grigorescu, held at National Museum of Art of Romania.
This painting shows a big, old stone church with two tall towers and lots of pointed arches. The building looks worn, with dark spots and cracks in the stone. Trees and a small bridge are in front, and the sky is a pale blue-gray. The brushstrokes are thick and rough, making the church look almost like it’s made of texture rather than smooth paint. This style is called *impasto*—where paint is laid on thickly so you can almost feel the strokes. Look up technique: impasto next to see how artists use thick paint like this.
Lucian Grigorescu painted quiet scenes of cities and coasts, mostly in oil on canvas.
