Peisaj italian is a 1926 unspecified by Corneliu Michăilescu, a Romanesque work, held at National Museum of Art of Romania.
This painting shows a city at night, lit mostly in cool blues and greens. Tall, sharp church spires stick up against a dark sky. The buildings below look old, with uneven rooftops and small windows glowing faintly. The colors are flat and bright, like stained glass. The artist used thick, chunky brushstrokes to build up the shapes—it looks almost like the paint is piled on. This makes the buildings feel rough and textured. Look up impasto to see how artists use thick paint like this.
Corneliu Michăilescu (1887–1965) was an artist, born in Bucharest.
