La marginea pădurii is a 1902 by Ștefan Luchian, a Art Nouveau work, held at Brukenthal National Museum.
This painting shows a row of tall trees with thick trunks and lots of leaves in bright greens, yellows, and pinks. The ground below is a mix of brown and red, with scattered fallen leaves. The brushstrokes are thick and visible, giving the scene a textured, almost rough look. The artist’s signature is faintly visible in the bottom left corner. The painting feels like it was done quickly, with bold colors and loose strokes that don’t try to be perfectly realistic. Look up impasto to see how this thick paint technique works.
