Potopul is an unspecified by Mișu Popp, a Academic Art work, held at Brukenthal National Museum.
This painting shows a chaotic scene of people struggling in a stormy landscape. A giant wave crashes over rocks where a group clings together, while a towering figure with a wild beard reaches down to help—or maybe pull—them. In the background, a dark sky swirls with wind, and a wolf crouches on a rock, watching the chaos. Notice how the artist used deep shadows and bold light to make the figures stand out against the stormy backdrop. This trick is called *chiaroscuro*. Try looking up chiaroscuro to see how other artists used light and dark for drama.
