Pădure în flăcări is a 1906 unspecified by Grigore Romano, depicting forest, held at Bucharest Municipality Museum.
This painting shows a dark forest with tall, bare trees reaching upward. In the distance, a fire burns brightly, lighting up the scene with orange and red flames. The ground is covered in shadows and patches of green, while the trees stand stark against the smoky sky. The fire’s glow contrasts sharply with the deep greens and browns of the trees. This kind of strong light-and-dark contrast is called *chiaroscuro*—it makes the fire look almost dramatic. Look up chiaroscuro to see how artists use light and shadow to create depth.
