Cina cea de taină is a work by Ilie II Poienaru, depicting Composition, held at Alba Iulia Unification National Museum.
This painting shows a group of men sitting around a long table, all dressed in simple robes. The man at the center has a golden halo and is pointing upward, while the others look on with serious faces. The table holds a few bowls and a loaf of bread, and the room has a warm, dim glow from a chandelier in the background. Notice how the artist used bold colors—reds, yellows, and blues—to stand out against the dark background. The faces are flat and stylized, not very realistic, which gives it a distinct, almost symbolic feel. Look up cross-hatching next to see how artists create shading with lines.
Ilie Poienaru kept a studio so cold the ink froze mid-line, yet his religious drawings glow like candlelight.
