Iarna is a 1911 unspecified by Gheorghe Petrașcu, held at National Museum of Art of Romania.
This painting shows a snowy forest with bare trees and a few small figures walking through the snow. The brushstrokes are thick and rough, making the scene look cold and uneven. Shadows and light mix in a way that feels raw, with lots of white and gray blending together. The figures are tiny compared to the trees, making the forest feel huge and empty. The artist used heavy paint in some spots, giving the scene a textured, almost three-dimensional look. If you like this style, look up impasto next.
Gheorghe Petrașcu painted quiet scenes of buildings, streets, and still lifes in the 1920s and ’30s Romania.
