1921
unspecified
From the collection of Colecție particulară - Bacău
Stradă din Vitré is a 1921 unspecified by Gheorghe Petrașcu, held at Colecție particulară - Bacău.
This painting shows a narrow street squeezed between tall, crooked buildings. The walls are rough, with patches of peeling paint and dark shadows. A small house sits in the middle, its slanted roof and tiny windows looking worn. The ground is uneven, with steps leading up to doorways. Colors are mostly browns and grays, with a few bright spots like a red flag on the left. The brushstrokes are thick and visible, giving the scene a textured, almost rough feel. This technique is called *impasto*—where paint is laid on thickly so you can almost see the strokes. Look up technique: impasto to see more examples of this bold, tactile style.
Gheorghe Petrașcu (Romanian pronunciation: ; 20 November 1872, Tecuci – 1 May 1949, Bucharest) was a Romanian painter.
