Peisaj venețian is a 1956 unspecified by Corneliu Baba, held at National Museum of Art of Romania.
This painting shows two buildings side by side in a city. The one on the left is gray and rough, with dark windows and a worn look. The building on the right is bright red, standing out against the darker tones around it. The brushstrokes are thick and messy, like the paint was slapped on quickly. The red building has a few small windows, but they’re hard to see clearly. The paint is layered in spots, making parts of it look almost three-dimensional. This style is called *impasto*—where paint is laid on thickly. Look up impasto to see more paintings that use this bold, textured technique.
