Stânca albă is a 1927 by Alexandru Carol Satmary, held at Bucharest Municipality Museum.
This painting shows a rocky cliff rising out of a misty valley. The colors are soft—blues and grays in the sky, yellows and browns on the ground. Brushstrokes are loose, almost sketchy, with some thick paint visible. The title *Stânca albă* means "white rock" in Romanian, matching the pale cliff in the center. The artist used bold strokes to show light and shadow. If you like this style, look up *impasto* to see how thick paint creates texture.
Alexandru Carol Satmary (1870–1933) was an artist, born in Bucharest.
