Durere is a 1917 unspecified by Frederic Storck, held at Bucharest Municipality Museum.
This is a carved stone relief of a face in profile, set into a rough block like a slab of rock. The head is smooth, with soft curves for the hair and a gentle line for the jaw. The eyes are closed, and the lips are relaxed, almost like the person is resting. The piece looks like it’s meant to look ancient—even though it’s a modern carving. The rough edges around the face make it feel like it was cut straight from stone. Check out chiaroscuro to see how artists use light and shadow for depth.
Frederic Storck was a Romanian sculptor. His father was the sculptor Karl Storck. His brother, Carol Storck, was also a sculptor and his wife, Cecilia Cuțescu-Storck was a painter.
