Colibă țăranească arzând noaptea is an unspecified by Egbert van der Poel, a Baroque work, held at Brukenthal National Museum.
This painting shows a chaotic night scene with a village on fire. A crowd of people runs in the dark, some carrying belongings. In the foreground, a small boat sits on land, and a few figures huddle near it. The sky glows orange from the flames, while trees and houses in the background are lit by the fire’s light. Notice how the artist uses deep shadows and bright spots to make the scene feel dramatic. The fire’s glow stands out against the dark night. Try looking up *chiaroscuro* to see how this technique works in other paintings.
