1848
unspecified
From the collection of National Museum of Art of Romania
Portretul lui Nicolae Golescu is a 1848 unspecified by Constantin Daniel Rosenthal, a Biedermeier work, held at National Museum of Art of Romania.
A man in a light-colored coat stands holding a walking stick, with a small dog sitting beside him. Behind him, a red chair has a fur throw draped over it. A painted landscape with trees and a body of water fills the background. The man’s outfit looks practical for outdoor walks, and the dog’s calm pose suggests it’s used to being around people. The painting feels like a quiet moment frozen in time. Next, check out the technique: chiaroscuro to see how light and shadow create depth in paintings.
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.
