Colentina la Plumbuita is a work by Ion Popescu-Negreni, held at National Museum of Art of Romania.
This painting shows a small village with simple houses and a tall church tower in the center. The ground is uneven, with patches of dirt and grass, and a few people are scattered around—some walking, others working. The sky is pale and hazy, while the buildings have muted colors, mostly browns and grays. Notice how the brushstrokes are thick and textured, especially in the sky and grass, giving the scene a rough, lived-in feel. The artist used bold strokes to show light and shadow, making the village look real and uneven. If you like this style, look up impasto.
Ion Popescu-Negreni spent his days sketching the gritty edges of Bucharest’s rivers.
