1908
unspecified
From the collection of Moldova National Museum Complex
Fântână de la Brebu is a 1908 unspecified by Ștefan Luchian, a Art Nouveau work, held at Moldova National Museum Complex.
This painting shows a quiet scene of a stone well with a rope and bucket. A tree with yellow-green leaves leans over it, casting shadows on the ground. The walls of the well are rough, and the grass around it is a mix of green and brown. The sky above is pale and soft, blending into the scene. The brushstrokes are thick in some spots, giving the tree and walls texture. This makes the painting feel alive, like you could reach out and touch the rough stone or the rough bark. Try looking up impasto to see how artists use thick paint like this.
Ștefan Luchian was a Romanian painter, famous for his landscapes and still life works.
