1842
From the collection of National Museum of Art of Romania
Portretul doamnei Filipescu is a 1842 by Constantin Daniel Rosenthal, a Romanticism work, held at National Museum of Art of Romania.
This painting shows a woman with pale skin and dark hair, dressed in a loose white gown. Her head is tilted slightly, and she gazes off to the side with a calm expression. Behind her, a dark background holds three blurry shapes that look like barrels or vats. The artist signed the bottom right corner with the year 1842. The writing below the painting is in another language, possibly Romanian. Next, look up chiaroscuro to see how light and shadow create drama in art.
Constantin Daniel Rosenthal (b.Rosenthal Konstantin, 1820 – July 23, 1851) was a painter and sculptor of Austrian birth and a Romanian 1848 revolutionary, best known for his portraits and his choice of Romanian Romantic nationalist subjects.
