Biserica Stavropoleos is a 1859 unspecified by Carol Popp de Szathmary, held at Museum of Art Cluj-Napoca.
This painting shows a small, ornate building with a tiled roof and round, colorful designs on its walls. A few people stand near the entrance—one woman in a white dress with red trim, two men in dark clothes. The streets around it are quiet, with a few other buildings and a dome in the distance. The building looks like a church, with intricate patterns and a carved stone doorway. The artist used soft colors and careful brushstrokes to show light and shadow. Next, look up *chiaroscuro* to see how this technique works in other paintings.
Carol Szathmari was a Romanian painter, lithographer, and photographer of Transylvanian Hungarian origin, who was based in Bucharest from the age of 18 until his death.
