1920
From the collection of National Museum of Art of Romania
Veneția is a 1920 by Gheorghe Petrașcu, held at National Museum of Art of Romania.
This painting shows a row of old buildings with crumbling walls and dark windows. The colors are mostly gray and brown, but there’s a splash of red near the bottom—maybe a boat or some trash. The sky above is pale and blurry, like it’s raining or foggy. The brushstrokes are thick and messy, almost like the artist slapped paint on quickly. The buildings look worn, with some windows boarded up and others just dark holes. If you like this rough, textured style, look up impasto.
Gheorghe Petrașcu (Romanian pronunciation: ; 20 November 1872, Tecuci – 1 May 1949, Bucharest) was a Romanian painter.
