About this work

Overview

Peisaj cu doi copaci is a landscape painting by Aurel Băeșu, a Romanian artist known for his Impressionist works.

Subject & Meaning

The painting features two trees in a field, a characteristic outdoor setting that reflects Băeșu's focus on natural scenes.

Technique & Style

The work is executed in a rough, brushy style with thick, uneven paint and visible texture, characteristic of impasto. Dark blues and greens are clumped together, while the sky and ground are rendered with loose, patchy strokes.

History & Provenance

Aurel Băeșu was born in 1896, making the circa 1850 date attributed to the work highly unlikely; Băeșu's style was influenced by Nicolae Grigorescu, a prominent figure in Romanian art.
