927
From the collection of Museum of Art Cluj-Napoca
Clopotniță la Târgoviște is a 927 by Gheorghe Petrașcu, depicting Bell Tower, held at Museum of Art Cluj-Napoca.
This painting shows a weathered white building with peeling walls and dark wooden shutters. A red-tiled roof juts out over a narrow alley, where a few trees and a small patch of grass line the side. The sky is pale blue with a few wispy clouds, and a large red barrel sits near a shadowy archway. The brushstrokes are thick and uneven, giving the scene a rough, textured look. It feels like the artist hurried to capture the light and shadows before they changed. Check out impasto to see how thick paint can create texture in art.
Gheorghe Petrașcu (Romanian pronunciation: ; 20 November 1872, Tecuci – 1 May 1949, Bucharest) was a Romanian painter.
