This filter is found in Filters → Artistic → Oilify...

This filter makes the image look like an oil painting. The Mask Size controls the outcome: a high value gives the image less detail, as if you had used a larger brush.

	Tip
	The GIMPressionist filter can produce similar effects, but allows a much wider variety of options.
