Peisaj pe Valea Oltului is a work by Gheorghe Theodorescu-Romanați, held at Brukenthal National Museum.
This painting shows a small village nestled in a valley. Trees line the hills on both sides, painted in thick green and blue strokes. A church with a tall tower sits near the center, and the sky above is soft and pale. The brushwork is loose and rough, almost like the artist slapped paint on quickly. The colors pop against each other—greens, blues, and a few warm yellows. If you like this style, look up impasto.
