Mere și evantai is an unspecified by Gheorghe Petrașcu, held at Museum of Art Cluj-Napoca.
A metal bowl sits on a table, holding three apples and a pear. The fruit looks real but is painted roughly—some brushstrokes are thick, others smudged. The background is dark and blurry, like a shadow, while the tablecloth has patches of green and blue. A red book or box peeks out from under the table’s edge. The apples and pear aren’t perfectly smooth—they have a slightly bumpy texture, as if the paint was applied in chunks. This might be because the artist used a technique called *impasto*, where thick paint is laid on thickly. Look up impasto to see how artists use it to make their work feel almost three-dimensional.
Gheorghe Petrașcu painted quiet scenes of buildings, streets, and still lifes in the 1920s and ’30s Romania.
