Dominant colour
Frantz Szallay is a 1917 unspecified by Frederic Storck, held at Bucharest Municipality Museum.
This is a close-up portrait of a man with dark, wavy hair and a serious expression. The lighting hits his face unevenly, leaving his left side in shadow while the right side glows. His ear is slightly visible, and the background is mostly dark, making his face stand out. The painting looks old, with some areas faded or scratched. The way light and dark play on his face is striking—almost like a spotlight. Next, look up *chiaroscuro* to see how this lighting trick works in other art.
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.
