Natură statică cu mere is a 1937 unspecified by Gheorghe Petrașcu, held at Art Museum of Constanta.
This painting shows a simple table with two bowls of fruit. One bowl holds red apples, the other has greenish-yellow pears. The tablecloth is striped red and white, and the background looks like a rough, textured wall. The brushstrokes are thick, almost like the paint was scraped on. The colors pop against the dark background, making the fruit look juicy and real. Try looking up impasto to see how this thick paint technique works.
Gheorghe Petrașcu painted quiet scenes of buildings, streets, and still lifes in the 1920s and ’30s Romania.
