Crizantemă în vas albastru is an unspecified by Ștefan Luchian, held at Museum of Art Cluj-Napoca.
This painting shows a loose, brushy bouquet of white and yellow flowers in a dark blue vase. The background is a soft blur of green and brown, like a garden or foliage. The colors are bright but the brushstrokes are rough, almost like the flowers are still moving. The artist used thick paint in some spots, making the flowers pop against the vase. This technique is called *impasto*—where paint is laid on so heavily you can almost see it. Look up impasto to see how other artists used this same bold brushwork.
Ștefan Luchian painted quiet scenes of daily life in late-1800s Romania: sunlit houses, country roads, and a single studio work called Atelierul from 1894.
