Întâmpinarea Domnului is a 1850 by Unknown, held at Maramureș Village Museum.
This painting shows three robed figures standing in front of a golden background. The two on the left look like they’re praying, with hands clasped. The figure on the right holds a staff and faces them, while a smaller figure in the gold area seems to be holding a child. The floor has a patterned design, and the colors are mostly earthy browns and golds. The golden background is textured, almost like woven metal, which makes it stand out. The figures have simple, flat faces and bold outlines, giving them a stiff, formal look. If you like this style, check out cross-hatching to see how artists create texture with lines.
