1867
From the collection of Bucharest Municipality Museum
Liturghia îngerilor - scenă religioasă is a 1867 by Gheorghe Tattarescu, depicting Angel, held at Bucharest Municipality Museum.
This sketch shows two winged figures standing close together, their hands clasped in the center. To the right, a robed person kneels on the ground, holding a small object, while another standing figure gestures toward them. The lines are simple and the colors are mostly faded green and brown. The kneeling figure looks smaller and less detailed than the others, almost like an afterthought. The angels’ wings fill most of the space, making them the focus. Check out the technique: cross-hatching to see how artists build depth with lines.
Gheorghe Tattarescu (Romanian pronunciation: ; October 1818 – October 24, 1894) was a Romanian painter and a pioneer of neoclassicism in his country's modern painting.
