Overview

Peisaj (orășenesc) is a print by Jean Alexandru Steriadi, dated to around 1928, held in the collection of the Museum of Ethnography.

Subject & Meaning

The image depicts a cityscape enveloped in haze, situated between bare trees and green hills. The city's buildings are small and dispersed, merging with the misty background.

Technique & Style

Steriadi employed soft, blurred edges to create a sense of distance, while muted greens, browns, and grays imbue the scene with a subdued, dreamlike quality. Foreground trees, rendered in dark, stark lines, contrast with the hazy cityscape.
