Sf. Mare Mucenic Gheorghe is a 1893 by Unknown, a Impressionism work, held at National Museum of Art of Romania.
This oval painting shows a dramatic scene with a rider on a white horse in the center. Above him, two figures with glowing halos float in the sky, one holding a cross. Below, a dark figure lies on the ground, reaching up toward the horse. The background has a town with domed buildings and a red sky. The gold border is cracked and worn, giving it an old, layered look. The colors are bold—reds, golds, and dark shadows—but the paint is faded in spots. Look up cross-hatching next to see how artists create depth with lines.
