Characteristics of Collectionism in Wallachia

  • TITLU în română: Caracteristicile colecţionismului în Ţara Românească
  • Subiect: The paper presents the characteristics of private art collections in Wallachia during the second half of the nineteenth century and the first quarter of the twentieth century. Most collectors were intellectuals who came from wealthy families, being educated in Western European countries and becoming accustomed, during their studies, to the custom of visiting museums, art galleries and attending auctions, so much so that on their return home, they began to compile their own collections. They collected mostly ancient and contemporary European art, as well as Romanian art, in the late nineteenth century. Art collections coexisted with those of archaeological vestiges, numismatics, and decorative art, and the reasons for their formation included the desire to educate the public (hence, the possibility of viewing the works during the life of their owners), to support and protect modern Romanian art, and the desire to create an environment similar to that in Western Europe.
