Natură moartă (Mere) is an unspecified by Nicolae Tonitza, held at Museum of Art Cluj-Napoca.
This painting shows a simple tabletop scene with fruit. There’s a dark bowl in the center holding bright red apples, and a few more apples and pears scattered around it. The colors are bold—reds, yellows, and greens—with some brushstrokes that look thick and textured. The background is plain, letting the fruit stand out. The apples in the bowl have a rough, almost lumpy look, like the paint was applied in heavy strokes. This makes them feel real and slightly uneven, not perfectly smooth. If you like this style, look up impasto to see how artists use thick paint for texture.
