Sf. Nicolae is an unspecified by Nicolae Oancea, depicting composition, held at Alba Iulia Orthodox Archdiocese.
This painting shows a bearded man in a green robe and crown, standing in front of a small building. He holds a book and a scroll, with a kneeling person at his feet. Around him are other figures—some floating in clouds, others standing on a ledge. The colors are mostly green, gold, and brown, with flat, bright shapes and little shading. The man’s name is written above him as *Nicolae*, and the painting looks like it might be religious. The figures in the clouds have halos, and the scene feels formal and symbolic. If you like this style, look up chiaroscuro next.
