Moartea lui Mihai Viteazul is a 1850 by Mișu Popp, a Academic Art work, held at National Museum of Art of Romania.
This painting shows a chaotic fight between two groups of men. One side wears bright blue and red robes, while the other side has rougher clothes and beards. The men on the right are swinging swords, and one man in blue is kneeling, looking hurt. The background is dark, making the figures stand out. Notice how the artist used strong light and shadow to make the scene feel dramatic. The faces look tense, and the colors pop against the dark background. Look up chiaroscuro to see how this lighting trick works in other art.
