From the collection of Art Museum of Constanta
Natură moartă is a 1940 unspecified by Gheorghe Petrașcu, a Realism work, held at Art Museum of Constanta.
This painting shows a simple scene of two peaches sitting in a woven basket. The peaches are soft-looking, one pinkish and the other green, with a few spots. The basket has a rough texture, made of what looks like straw or reeds. The background is blurry, but it seems like a stone or brick wall. The brushstrokes are thick, giving the peaches a slightly bumpy, real feel. This technique makes the colors pop and adds depth to the shapes. Check out the technique: impasto to see how artists use thick paint like this.
Gheorghe Petrașcu (Romanian pronunciation: ; 20 November 1872, Tecuci – 1 May 1949, Bucharest) was a Romanian painter.
