The painting from the
church “The Beheading of St. John the Baptist” from Arbore, Romania,
can be described as vivid in chromatic harmonies, often using the
dialog between green and pale-red and spontaneous by its graceful and
beautifully modulated drawing. Dynamic in the interaction between the
characters’ gestures and attitudes, the painting is minutely elaborated
in the smallest detail and compositionally determined with blocks of
architecture carefully distributed.
These qualities, the stylistic and chromatic particularities, made the church become part of the UNESCO World Heritage.
