Description
Ștefan Popescu was a Romanian artist interested in various artistic media such as painting, illustration and engraving. He graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich, and later he completed his studies at the Beaux-Arts in Paris. There, Popescu became a member of Cercle des étudiants roumains alongside Constantin Brâncuși, George Enescu, Traian Vuia, Camil Ressu, and Ion Theodorescu Sion. His artistic technique was meticulous and well crafted, embracing the tradition of German impressionism. Popescu’s paintings employ a mixture of colours that give his compositions a subtle sense of crepuscular serenity, many times depicting natural landscapes, Romanian village life, and Oriental scenes. Popescu preserved the same aesthetic sensibility in his illustrations and engravings, being Queen Mary of Romania’s most preferred artist. After his first presentation in Paris in 1904, Popescu participated in a group exhibition in Berlin alongside Claude Monet and Edgar Degas. He won the Golden Medal at the International Exhibition in Munich in 1904, and his works were presented at the Venice Biennale in 1924, 1938, and 1942.
