Case pe dâmb is a 1920 unspecified by Gheorghe Petrașcu, a romanesque work, held at National Museum of Art of Romania.
This painting shows a small, dark wooden house with a sloped roof, sitting on a patch of dirt. The walls look rough and uneven, with a few small windows. The sky above is pale blue with some brushstrokes that look like clouds or smoke. In front of the house, there’s a barrel and a few scattered objects, like a log or a wheel. The artist used thick, visible brushstrokes that make the paint look almost textured. It’s not smooth—you can almost feel the roughness of the house and the ground. If you like this style, look up impasto to see how artists use paint in bold layers.
