From the collection of National Museum of Art of Romania
Portretul lui Constantin C. Cornescu (1830 – 1900) is a 1848 unspecified by Constantin Daniel Rosenthal, a Biedermeier work, held at National Museum of Art of Romania.
The painting depicts a man sitting at a desk, with his right hand resting on his cheek and his left arm on the desk. He is wearing a white shirt with a high collar and a dark vest or jacket. The background of the painting is dark, with a few hints of red and brown. The man's face is the central focus of the painting, with his eyes looking directly at the viewer. His expression is contemplative, with a hint of sadness in his eyes. The painting's use of chiaroscuro creates a sense of depth and dimensionality, drawing the viewer's eye to the man's face. This painting is a great example of Romanticism, and you can learn more about the movement by exploring the works of other artists who were part of it.
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.
