1855
From the collection of King Ferdinand I National Military Museum
Colonelul Ioan Cornescu is a 1855 by Gheorghe Tattarescu, a Academic Art work, held at King Ferdinand I National Military Museum.
This painting shows a man in a dark military uniform with gold buttons and braided trim. He’s holding a decorative sword with a gold handle and a red ribbon on his chest. His face is serious, with a dark mustache and a steady gaze. The uniform looks formal, like something worn by a high-ranking officer. The way the light hits his face and uniform suggests careful attention to detail. Next, check out *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.
