Efect de lumină is a 1867 by Gheorghe Tattarescu, depicting candle, held at Bucharest Municipality Museum.
This is a print showing sunlight streaming through a window. The light falls on a plain white wall, creating sharp shadows and bright patches. Dark furniture sits along the edges, almost lost in the contrast. The artist used strong light and dark contrasts to make the scene feel real. The shadows look deep and the light looks warm. It’s like you could reach out and touch the sunbeam. Check out another print by Tattarescu, Gheorghe.
