Nicolae Grigorescu receives his education both from his relatives and from Anton Chladek and in Paris. He engages in the family tradition of icon painting. It is not until 1862 that he becomes acquainted with French Impressionism and the artists of Barbizon School. Inspired by their plein air painting, he begins to paint landscapes and peasant genre scenes as soon as he returns to Romania. After participating in the war between Russia and the Ottoman Empire as a soldier, he moves to Bucharest at the age of 49. There he creates the paintings that earn him the reputation he has today: that he was the most important Romanian Impressionist.
