Scenă alegorică is a 1650 unspecified by Unknown, held at Romanian Academy in Bucharest.
This painting shows a group of women standing in a green, hilly landscape. The women are dressed in flowing robes—some in soft pinks, others in deep blues and yellows. In the foreground, a flock of sheep grazes on a rocky patch, while more figures work in the distance. The sky is painted in swirling blues and greens, giving a dreamy feel. Notice how the light seems to glow on the women’s faces, making them stand out against the darker background. The artist used a technique that highlights shadows and light to create depth. Look up *chiaroscuro* to see how this effect works in other paintings.
