Petre Diaconescu

Petre Diaconescu made quiet, sunlit scenes of boats and riverbanks. Two of his canvases in this set show a fishing boat moored at dusk—Peisaj cu bărci—and a sunset over the Popina channel—Înserare la Popina. He belonged to no named movement, just a moment when Romanian painters favored soft light and simple subjects. Tap Înserare la Popina to step into his evening glow.
