Peisaj is a 1850 by Steriadi Al. Jean, depicting farm wagon, held at Moldova National Museum Complex.
This painting shows a rough, brushy view of a small town. The buildings are simple, with flat roofs and simple windows. A horse-drawn wagon sits in the foreground, and the colors are mostly earthy—browns, grays, and a little blue sky. The brushstrokes are thick and messy, like the artist worked fast or didn’t smooth things out. It feels more like a quick sketch than a polished scene. If you like this loose, expressive style, look up impasto.
