Peisaj cu case și minaret

About this work

This painting shows a small riverside town with low, simple houses and a tall church tower in the distance. The buildings are painted in soft browns and yellows, while the water below is a mix of blues and greens with a few boats floating on it. The sky is light and airy, almost like a pale wash of color. The brushstrokes are loose and quick, giving the scene a lively, sketchy feel—like the artist worked fast to capture the light. The minaret stands out as the tallest point in the town, adding a sense of height to the flat rooftops. If you like this style, look up impasto next to see how thick paint can create texture.
