Les Peintres Roumains Et La France, 1834-1939

After a discreet start at the Universal Exhibition of 1867, Romania was noticed a few years later on the Parisian art scene, where its painters came to train at the École des Beaux-Arts or the Académie Julian, and where its patrons supported artists such as Renoir or Monet. From Nicolae Grigorescu's Bords de la mer en Bretagne to Theodor Pallady's Pont-Neuf, via Theodor Aman's Premier Atelier à Paris, this book takes us on a journey to meet these painters who, from the middle of the 19th to the 20th century, were inspired as much by their host country, France, as by their native land, Romania.
