Retragerea 1916 is a work by Ion Stoica Dumitrescu, held at King Ferdinand I National Military Museum.
This painting shows a rough, muddy landscape with a lone horse and rider moving toward the right. Behind them, a few small huts sit on a hill, and bare trees stick out of the ground. The colors are mostly browns and grays, with some patches of green and dark shadows. The brushstrokes look thick and uneven, almost like the artist hurried or worked outside. This style makes the scene feel raw and real, like a quick snapshot of nature. Check out the technique: impasto to see how artists use thick paint for texture.
Ion Stoica Dumitrescu made paintings, prints, and sculpture that look like historical scenes you’d see in old books.
