From the collection of Moldova National Museum Complex
Autoportret Gheorghe Petrașcu is a 1925 unspecified by Gheorghe Petrașcu, held at Moldova National Museum Complex.
This painting shows a close-up of a man’s face, looking slightly to the side. His skin is painted in warm tones, with a dark background that makes his features stand out. The brushstrokes are visible, especially around his wrinkles and hair, giving the face a textured look. The painting’s rough texture suggests the artist used thick paint, which adds depth to the skin and hair. This technique is called *impasto*—where paint is laid on in heavy layers. Next, check out *impasto* to see how other artists used it to create bold, tactile effects.
Gheorghe Petrașcu (Romanian pronunciation: ; 20 November 1872, Tecuci – 1 May 1949, Bucharest) was a Romanian painter.
