Research information

In 1921 and 1922, Gheorghe Petrașcu returned and painted an important cycle of landscapes from the old Saxon medieval fortress, on fairly small formats, works that were to be exhibited in exhibitions from 1923-1926. Most likely, the work participated in the personal exhibition in 1923 at the Romanian Athenaeum, when Petrașcu was exhibiting the Transylvanian landscapes made in 1921-1922 for the first time.

With a sober and lyrical chromatic richness through its serious substrate, Petras's art reveals an intimate universe, within which we periodically encounter the urbanscape, a genre which he will pay special attention to from the beginning. He will travel to London, The Hague, Amsterdam, Berlin, Munich, Vienna, Brussels, Senlis, Zurich, Bern, Basel, Stockholm, Toledo, Vitré and Venice, encountering architectures full of cultural effervescence. In the country, he will often travel to Viforâta, Târgoviște, Sibiu and Sighișoara, where he will be impressed by the rich color palette of the buildings. Near Sighișoara, he will produce works such as: "Hanul Covaci from Sighișoara", "Houses from Sighișoara", "Sighișoara", Small square in Sighișoara (Markplatz) and others. (G.M.)
