Stânci la Capul Caliacra is a 1924 unspecified by Jean Alexandru Steriadi, held at National Museum of Art of Romania.
This painting shows a rocky coastline meeting deep blue water. The cliffs are rough and layered, painted in earthy browns, reds, and greens. The brushstrokes are thick, almost like the texture of the rocks themselves. The artist used a lot of paint to create the uneven surface, making the cliffs look almost three-dimensional. This technique is called *impasto*. Look up impasto to see how artists use thick paint to add texture.
Romanian painter Jean Alexandru Steriadi left scenes of everyday life and ports in the early 1900s.
