1867
unspecified
From the collection of Bucharest Municipality Museum
Turnul lui Lisicrates is a 1867 unspecified by Gheorghe Tattarescu, held at Bucharest Municipality Museum.
This painting shows an old stone tower with carvings on its walls. It looks like a real place but is based on an ancient Greek design. The light hits the tower just right, making shadows clear. The carvings on the tower are small but detailed. They show leaves and other patterns. This kind of decoration was common in old Greek architecture. See this at the Museum of Ethnography.
Gheorghe Tattarescu (Romanian pronunciation: ; October 1818 – October 24, 1894) was a Romanian painter and a pioneer of neoclassicism in his country's modern painting.
