Nicolae Grigorescu (1838–1907)
Nicolae Grigorescu was one of the founders of modern Romanian painting and is widely considered Romania’s most important 19th-century artist. His work sits at the intersection of Romantic nationalism, Barbizon realism, and early Impressionist technique.
- Born: 1838 in Pitaru, Wallachia (then part of the Ottoman sphere)
- Died: 1907 in Câmpina, Romania
- Grew up in modest circumstances and began painting religious icons as a teenager to support his family.
- Later received a scholarship to study in Paris, where he encountered modern European painting.
Paris and the Barbizon School
In France he spent time near Barbizon, the village where painters like Jean-François Millet and Camille Corot worked directly from nature. This had a profound effect on him:
- looser brushwork
- outdoor landscape painting (plein air)
- attention to rural life rather than heroic historical scenes
Grigorescu absorbed these techniques and carried them back to Romania.
Subjects and Style
His paintings often focus on Romanian rural life, which gave them strong national symbolism during a period when Romania was forming its modern identity. Common themes include:
- shepherds and peasants
- ox carts on dusty roads
- village women in traditional dress
- Carpathian landscapes
- scenes from the Romanian War of Independence (1877–78)
Technically, his work shows:
- soft, luminous color
- quick, expressive brushstrokes
- atmospheric landscapes reminiscent of early Impressionism.
Cultural Importance
Grigorescu became a central figure in shaping Romanian visual identity. His legacy includes:
- helping establish the first modern Romanian art movement
- influencing generations of Romanian painters
- becoming a national cultural symbol
Romania later named its national art school after him:
-
National University of Arts Bucharest was long known as the Nicolae Grigorescu Institute of Fine Arts.

Who is World Money Store?
World Money Store is me, Βrian Grοss, the sole proprietor of this small business, based in Washington D.C. I've spend half my adult life in The Netherlands and Mexico and have an addiction to travel, history and languages (Spanish, Dutch Russian and a few others); Arabic my current challenge. My personal instagram is @df2dc.
I've been on ebay for 22 years, and I am also on Whatnot. I put together the website myself, and do all the purchasing.
I travel around the world to personally select a range of banknotes that I KNOW match the interests of my customers, and by traveling to the right places, I get them at the best prices, too.
I have three main groups of customers:
1. the ones who love diverse colorful and affordable notes from around the world
2. those who love to own pieces of the propaganda of communist dictatorships (Cuba, North Korea) and "bad guys" like the Ayatollah, Saddam, Gadaffi. Iran (Shah, Ayatollah), Syria (Assad, current).
3. those who seek Venezuelan and Iranian currency. We sell banknotes for collecting purposes only (our intention).
I happen to have a lot of depth and breadth in Mexico and Brazil, in addition to Cuba and Iran.
I don't focus on anything from the U.S. and Canada, items from before World War II, "lucky" serial numbers, or PMG-graded items.
