Trandafiri is an unspecified by Ștefan Luchian, held at National Museum of Art of Romania.
This painting shows a loose bouquet of roses—some red, some white—with thick green leaves. The petals look soft and slightly wilted, while the background is a plain, warm yellow. The brushstrokes are rough and uneven, almost like the flowers were painted quickly. The red roses stand out against the white ones, giving the whole thing a mix of fresh and faded. The artist used thick paint in some spots, making the flowers pop. Try looking up impasto to see how this technique works.
