Regional Art History - Romania

[Oblio]

Some painters are more famous then they deserve and some are not enough.
I've got no idea which is witch but from a mathematical pov this are the facts ;)
Here are some Romanian paintings. Feel free to start your own regional painting thread - we might discover artist that are closer to our own taste, learn things, etc.
More painters will follow.
These ones are by Nicolae Grigorescu 1838 - 1907
