Biserica din Giverny is a 1908 by Samuel Mützner, held at National Museum of Art of Romania.
This painting shows a church with two tall, pointed towers framed by bare trees. The brushstrokes are thick and rough, blending colors like greens, browns, and blues in a loose way. Light hits the building’s walls unevenly, making some spots brighter than others. The trees in front look like they’ve lost their leaves, standing stark against the church. The paint is applied in heavy layers, giving it a textured look. Next, check out impasto to see how artists use thick paint like this.
