# Street of Berzova [View the canonical artwork record]() ## Artwork - Artist: [PAÁL, László]() - Date: 1851-1900 - Technique: Oil on canvas, 93 x 121 cm ## Commentary This work was painted relatively early on in Paál's career. Interrupting his studies abroad, he returned home to Transylvania, where he painted this picture. A girl is walking towards a well on a street running between the whitewashed houses of the small village. There are a few ducks around the well. The composition is built on the contrast between black and white - dark and light colours. The picture radiates a quiet, melancholic mood; looking at the streets and the figure one has a feeling that time stopped in this sleepy, dusty Transylvanian village at the end of the century. ## Related artworks - [Cloudy Weather]() - [Edge of Forest]() - [Forest Path]() - [Frog Swamp]() - [In the Forest of Fontainebleau]() - [Morning in the Forest]() - [Noon]() - [Poplars]() - [Sunset]() - [The Depth of the Forest]() - [The Depth of the Forest]() - [The Depth of the Forest]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
