Natură moartă is a 1850 by Viorescu Leon, depicting window, held at Moldova National Museum Complex.
This painting shows a green lantern hanging on a rusty metal hook. Behind it, a simple building with a sloped roof sits on a snowy hillside. The colors are muted—dull whites, browns, and a faded green—with some patches of paint worn away. The lantern’s light bulb is barely visible, almost like it’s about to glow. The brushstrokes are thick in places, giving the paint a textured look. Check out impasto to see how artists use thick paint for texture.
