Dalii is a 1917 unspecified by Gheorghe Petrașcu, held at National Museum of Art of Romania.
This painting shows a loose, messy bouquet of flowers in a dark vase. The petals are bright—reds, yellows, and whites—while the leaves are green and brown. The brushstrokes are thick and uneven, like the flowers were painted quickly, almost roughly. The artist didn’t smooth out the colors. Some spots look almost wet, with paint piled high. It’s like the flowers are still alive, struggling against the dark background. Look up Gheorghe Petrașcu to see more of his work.
Gheorghe Petrașcu painted quiet scenes of buildings, streets, and still lifes in the 1920s and ’30s Romania.
