Curte de mănăstire la Veneția is a 1928 unspecified by Gheorghe Petrașcu, a Romanesque work, held at National Museum of Art of Romania.
This painting shows a row of old buildings with tall, narrow windows and weathered walls. The colors are mostly muted browns and grays, but there’s a hint of blue in the sky. Trees and greenery peek out at the bottom, and the brushstrokes look thick and textured. The artist used bold strokes to show light hitting the buildings, making some areas stand out. The scene feels like a quiet, everyday moment in a place that’s been around for a long time. Check out impasto to see how artists use thick paint like this.
