EUGENIU VOINESCU painter

Post by aukepalmhof » Fri May 27, 2011 9:20 pm

Romania issued in 2011 four art reproductions belonging to the National Bank of Romania Treasure.
Only one stamp is of the maritime theme

On the postage stamp with the face value of RON 2.10 is illustrated the painting called Marine made by Eugeniu Voinescu (1842-1909). The painter studied literature and law in Cairo and Paris where he made friends with the Russian painter I.K. Aivazovski, a master of the marine landscape.

Between 1879-1888, Eugeniu Voinescu was the General Consul of Romania in Budapest, Constantinople and Odessa.

In 1889, he made his debut with a public exhibition at the Romanian Athenaeum Salon in Bucharest.
As a painter of marine themes, Voinescu was the most famous Romanian painter of his time.
