Stefan Luchian

1868-1917 Romania/Impressionism

 

Brief Biography-Ștefan Luchian was born in Botoșani, Romania in 1868. He studied at the Bucharest National University of Arts, where Nicolae Grigorescu influenced him. He later studied at the Academy of Fine Arts, Munich, followed by the Académie Julian in Paris under William-Adolphe Bouguereau. Luchian was much unimpressed by Academicism and leaned more towards impressionism in Paris. He exhibited at numerous shows and was appreciated by some, but he was not a resounding success. He became paralysed in 1909 from multiple sclerosis and received a degree of success, possibly due to his fame as a disabled artist; however, it did not deflect his true talents. He died in 1916, and the Romanian Academy posthumously elected him in 1948.
