Natură moartă cu mere is an unspecified by Gheorghe Petrașcu, held at Brukenthal National Museum.
This painting shows a table covered in a checkered cloth. On it sit six apples—three greenish and three red—along with a single pomegranate. Behind them, a stack of books and a small notebook peek out from under a dark cloth. The brushstrokes are thick, almost rough, and the colors feel uneven, like the light is shifting. The apples aren’t perfectly smooth; they look almost textured, as if the paint was scraped or dabbed on. The pomegranate sits slightly apart, like an afterthought. If you like this loose, tactile style, look up impasto.
