Description
Nicolae Enea (b. 1897, Valea Arinilor, Romania - d. 1960, Bacău, Romania) was a Romanian painter associated with Post-Impressionism. He was a student at the Academy of Fine Arts in Bucharest, as well as the Free Academy of Painting, founded by Arthur Verona.
Enea is considered an important painter of his generation, appreciated for the lyricism and chromatic particularity of his works, using strong and bright colours. He painted landscapes, nudes, rural life scenes, portraits, as well as church murals. His works have been exhibited since 1925, the first important solo presentation of Enea taking place in Bucharest in 1933. He was awarded a silver medal for a portrait of his wife that was part of the International Painting Exhibition in Paris in 1925.
Enea had to retreat from public life after the end of the Second World War due to his personal connections to the Royal Family. However, his reputation was later restored post-mortem, not without his wife’s efforts, and in 1963 personal exhibitions were dedicated to Enea’s works in Bucharest and Bacău.
