Ulcica cu iriși is a 1906 by Ștefan Luchian, a Art Nouveau work, held at Iulian Antonescu Bacău Museum Complex.
This painting shows a loose, brushy bunch of flowers in a dark vase. The petals are mostly white and yellow, with some green leaves mixed in. The background is a muddy brown, and the whole scene looks a little rough around the edges. The flowers aren’t perfectly drawn—they’re more like quick, messy strokes. That’s probably on purpose, making it feel alive and real. If you like this style, check out *impasto* for more about thick, textured brushwork.
