From the collection of National Museum of Art of Romania
Peisaj urban is a 1926 unspecified by Elena Popea, held at National Museum of Art of Romania.
This painting shows a cityscape with a big dome-shaped building in the center. Around it are smaller houses with slanted roofs, some red and some gray. The sky is light with wispy clouds, and in the distance, you can see more buildings and a faint outline of water. The brushstrokes are thick and textured, especially on the roofs and dome, giving the painting a rough, almost handmade feel. It looks like the artist used bold colors but kept the scene simple and clear. If you like this style, check out the technique: impasto.
Elena Popea (15 April 1879, Brașov – 19 June 1941, Bucharest) was an Austro-Hungarian-born Romanian Modernist painter whose influences included Impressionism, Expressionism and Cubism.
