Age of impressionism in Romania
註釋"The first painter of "open air" of his country and founder of modern painting in Romania, Nicolae Grigorescu managed to elaborate a remarkable synthesis between the assimilation of the avant-garde, which he had contacts with during his travels throughout Europe and local characteristics. His peasant origins, his debut as a painter of religious scenes in monasteries prefigures in no sense the scope of his artistic career, resolutely European, in line with the extraordinary wave of advanced painting on the continent. Thanks to a grant awarded in 1861 to study at the Beaux-Arts in Paris, he meets the greatest artists, from Millet and Corot in Barbizon through the young Renoir and Monet. As the leading figure of modern art in Romania, Grigorescu painted in a palette of intense light everyday scenes of his country. Its people, the countryside, flocks, lakes and forests, fields and homes have more then inspired him. The 95 works presented in the exhibition and shown in this catalogue are the expression of a masterly refinement combined with a gentle melancholy."--Publisher's website.
