Peisaj din Ghioggia is a 1934 unspecified by Gheorghe Petrașcu, held at National Museum of Art of Romania.
This painting shows old, weathered buildings by the water. The walls are rough and peeling, with patches of brown and gray. A small boat floats in the foreground, and the water looks choppy. The sky is a pale, smudged blue. The paint is thick in spots, giving the buildings texture. It looks like the artist brushed on the colors quickly, leaving visible strokes. Look up impasto next 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.
