Flori de cais is a 1924 by Ion Țuculescu, depicting flower, held at Art museum of Craiova.
A dark background frames a single branch heavy with small white flowers. The petals glow faintly, some tinged with pale pink, while the stems and leaves stay shadowy. A few petals have drifted to the ground below. The painting focuses on light and dark to make the flowers stand out. The artist used deep blacks to make the white blossoms pop. Next, check out chiaroscuro to see how light and shadow work together.
