Winter Landscape 1942

"Winter Landscape" (1942) by Dumitru Ghiatza (1888-1972) is a captivating depiction of a snow-covered village scene. The artist uses bold brushstrokes to capture the textures of the buildings, trees, and snow, giving the painting a dynamic and expressive quality. The composition is dominated by a cluster of houses in warm, muted tones, set against a cool blue sky. A solitary horse, rendered in shades of brown, stands in the foreground, adding a sense of solitude and quiet contemplation to the scene. This painting exemplifies Ghiatza's distinct style, characterized by expressive brushwork and a focus on capturing the essence of the Romanian countryside.
