Crizanteme is an unspecified by Octav Băncilă, depicting chrysanthemum, held at Bucharest Municipality Museum.
This painting shows a dark vase filled with flowers. The blooms are bright—pinks, whites, and yellows—piled together loosely. The brushstrokes are thick and rough, almost like the paint was slapped on. The flowers look a little wild, not perfectly neat. The title is *Crizanteme*, which means chrysanthemums, but the colors here are more like dahlias or mums. If you like this loose, bold style, look up impasto.
