1867
unspecified
From the collection of Bucharest Municipality Museum
Timpul is a 1867 unspecified by Gheorghe Tattarescu, a Biedermeier work, held at Bucharest Municipality Museum.
This painting shows two figures sitting close together. The person on the left is shirtless, wearing a red skirt and holding a small round object. Their face is blurred, and they’re draped in a green cloth. The person on the right has wings, a white dress, and a red sash, holding a baby. The background is a soft, faded yellow. The artist used shadows and light to give the figures a three-dimensional look, especially on the faces and wings. The way the light hits the baby’s face stands out. Next, look up chiaroscuro to see how this technique works in other paintings.
Gheorghe Tattarescu (Romanian pronunciation: ; October 1818 – October 24, 1894) was a Romanian painter and a pioneer of neoclassicism in his country's modern painting.
