1850
From the collection of National Museum of Art of Romania
Portretul Mariei Rosetti is a 1850 by Constantin Daniel Rosenthal, held at National Museum of Art of Romania.
This painting shows a woman resting her chin on her hand, looking off to the side with a calm expression. She wears a dark dress with a high collar and a light-colored bow at her neck. Behind her is a soft, blurry landscape with trees and hills. Her pose feels relaxed, almost thoughtful. The background is painted in gentle blues and greens, keeping the focus on her face. Next, look up chiaroscuro to see how artists use light and shadow like this.
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.
