Biserică din Mangalia is an unspecified by Nicolae Tonitza, held at National Museum of Art of Romania.
This painting shows a table covered with a dark cloth. On it sit a few peeled onions, a bunch of garlic, and two clay pitchers. A wooden spoon lies across the table, and a loaf of bread is half-hidden under a napkin. The colors are mostly browns and yellows, with some green peeking in from the napkin. The brushstrokes are thick and textured, making the objects feel almost real to the touch. This style is called *impasto*, where paint is laid on thickly so you can see the strokes. Look up impasto to see how artists use it to add depth to their work.
Nicolae Tonitza painted quiet still lifes and village scenes, often showing colorful vegetables on a table or blooming flowers in simple pots.
