Flori de măr is a 1930 by Eustațiu Stoenescu, held at Brukenthal National Museum.
This painting shows a dark vase filled with white flowers, some still attached to branches. The background is a muddy, swirling mix of browns and greens, with loose petals scattered on a rusty tabletop. The brushstrokes are thick and uneven, making the scene feel rough and alive. The artist used quick, messy strokes to show the flowers and leaves—no smooth edges here. It looks like they were in a hurry to capture the moment, almost like a sketch. If you like this style, look up *impasto* to see how artists use thick paint.
