Gheorghe tattarescu - rebirth of romania - allegory conceived in rome, signifying the rebirth of the country through science, art and faith, bucharest municipal museum, 229x154 cm. Allegory conceived in rome, signifying the rebirth of the country through science, art and faith. The composition is built on two planes: below, a woman waking up from sleep, symbolizing romania breaking the chains of slavery (bottom left, the romanian flag is partially unfurled). An angel lifts the veil of obscurantism, pointing to the higher plane the personified symbols of science, art and faith. In the lower left, the cornucopia is depicted and on the right, by contrast, a family of poor peasants in front of a sketchy hut. The physiognomic features are well outlined and the clothing draped. In the background are the danube, the carpathians and the ruins of the former capital târgovişte. The composition preserves the stylistic features of the allegorical painting. Chromatic: rich range of finely nuanced grays, ochres, browns, various shades of blue and green. Object Type: painting. Date: 1850. Place of creation: Romania. Dimensions: height: 229 cm (90.1 in) ; width: 154 cm (60.6 in). Medium: oil and oil painting on canvas. Collection: Gheorghe Tattarescu Museum. Gheorghe Tattarescu - Renasterea Romaniei
