One of the founders of modern Romanian painting.

In 1877 he was called to accompany the Romanian Army as a "frontline painter" in the Romanian War of Independence. During the battles at the Grivitsa Strongpoint and Oryahovo, he made drawings and sketches which later used in creating larger-scale works.

In 1889 his work was featured in the Universal Exhibition in Paris and at the Romanian Atheneum. Centerpiece exhibits took place at the Romanian Atheneum would follow in 1891, 1895, 1897, 1902, and 1905.

Thanks, Gabi-san, for reminding me about one of my favorite Romanian painters, Nicolae Grigorescu.
I write here one of my old haiku, inspired by his paintings with ox carts:

morning fog -
behind the ox cart
fresh sawdust
