1850
unspecified
From the collection of Bucharest Municipality Museum
Soția lui Lazăr Kalinderu is a 1850 unspecified by Gheorghe Tattarescu, held at Bucharest Municipality Museum.
This painting shows a person dressed in a light blue jacket with silver trim and a white lace collar. Their dark hair is pulled back, and they wear a feather in their hair and earrings. The background is plain and dark, making the person stand out. The silver details on the jacket catch the light, drawing your eye to the careful stitching. This kind of attention to fabric and light was common in portraits of the time. Check out chiaroscuro to see how artists used 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.
