Mânăstirea Curtea Domnească

About this work

This painting shows a crumbling stone building with a red-tiled roof and arched doorway. The walls look weathered, with patches of green climbing plants and a few bare branches in the foreground. Inside the doorway, a dark shape suggests a person or object, and the sky above is a pale blue with faint brushstrokes. The paint is thick in places, giving the surface a textured, almost rough look. This technique makes the building feel real and worn, like it’s been standing for a long time. If you like this style, look up impasto.
