Trandafiri is a 1887 by Louisa Ellen Perman, depicting Chiaroscuro, held at National Museum of Art of Romania.
This painting shows a dark vase filled with roses. The flowers are mostly soft pink and white, with a few deeper red blooms mixed in. Green leaves peek out between the stems, and the background is a deep, shadowy black that makes the colors pop. The brushstrokes are thick and visible, especially on the petals, giving the flowers a textured look. The dark background helps the roses stand out, almost like they’re glowing. If you like this style, check out chiaroscuro next.
Louisa Ellen Perman’s prints feel like someone bottled sunshine and sold it in black-and-white.
