Crizanteme is a 1912 by Ștefan Luchian, a Art Nouveau work, held at National Museum of Art of Romania.
This painting shows a dark vase filled with bright flowers—purples, whites, and deep reds—sitting on a rough surface. The brushstrokes are thick and visible, especially on the petals and leaves, making the colors pop against the dark background. The flowers lean slightly, as if they’re about to spill over the vase’s edge. The artist used a technique where paint is built up thickly, almost like texture you could feel. This makes the flowers look lively and real, even though the background is plain and dark. If you like this style, look up impasto to see how artists use thick paint like this.
