PROVENANCE

the historic collection of the Bușulenga family. The work initially belonged to Cezar Bușulenga, one of the siblings of Apostol Bușulenga, husband of Zoe Dumitrescu-Bușulenga. After 1977, the painting entered the collection of Nicolae Bușulenga, the third Bușulenga brother.

At the age of 29, in 1879, Ioan Andreescu reached Paris, where he enrolled in the renowned Julian Academy. Although he interrupted his studies several times until 1881, the year he returned in the country, Andreescu did not feel any influences going beyond the borders of creation workshops following this contact. Perhaps the lack of important figures in French culture turned the painter's visits in mere stages of laboratory study in which, beyond research and practice, he sought to perfect certain procedures exclusively coordinated by technique. After a few months spent in Paris, Andreescu left for Barbizon, an intuitive moment in the artist's career. Here, the painter connected his style to an artistic concept that was truly specific in the history art, the Barbizon colony being easily recognisable due to its unique visual baggage. The integration of Andreescu in the Barbizon School can be interpreted as an obvious affinity of his in painting motifs easy to identify in the works of all the artists who painted there. Forest interiors, landscapes at the edge of pools, the small town or views of rocks, as can be found in Grigorescu, abound in Andreescu's creation from this period. What is interesting in his creation at the Barbizon is the brushstroke manner he approached. "The areas of the canvas are not painted one at a time, as required by the academic discipline, but by trial and error: one touch grows over another, the effect of paste, of pictorial materiality, blends with the effect of light, competing to evoke space and volumes; structure is achieved with the balance of masses and slight value ratios." (Radu Bogdan, "Andreescu", vol. I, 1969, p. 117).
