1867
unspecified
From the collection of Bucharest Municipality Museum
Ceres is a 1867 unspecified by Gheorghe Tattarescu, held at Bucharest Municipality Museum.
This painting shows a woman with light skin and flowing robes, sitting in the sky with one wing visible. She holds a bundle of wheat in one hand and a small child with wings clings to her. The background has soft clouds, distant trees, and a faint glow around them. The woman’s face looks calm, and the child holds what looks like a bunch of grapes. The colors are mostly soft blues, greens, and earthy tones. Look up chiaroscuro to see how artists use light and shadow like this.
Gheorghe Tattarescu (Romanian pronunciation: ; October 1818 – October 24, 1894) was a Romanian painter and a pioneer of neoclassicism in his country's modern painting.
