Her father originated from a military family and worked as an engineer at the Romanian Railways and her mother, whose maiden name was Natalia Herescu, was a remarkable musician born in Oltenia, akin to the Lahovary family. Nicolae Rădulescu, her brother, inherited their mother’s talent and studied early music and harpsichord, playing with the Bucharest Philharmonic. Shortly after she was born, her family moved to Constanţa, where she spent her first 10 years of life. After the First World War, she settled in Bucharest, but studied in Munich and Paris. She made her artistic debut in Bucharest, in 1924, and then in Paris, at the Salon des Indépendants, in 1929. The main themes of her work are inspired by Romanian customs and traditions, folklore, local weddings and village parties, circuses and fairs, everything that represented life and movement in the countryside. She was also a skillful portraitist, her work including a large number of portraits of people that she met during her life. In 1946, Magdalena moved to Nice. She mostly held exhibitions in Nice and Paris, where she had already made a name for herself, and also in Marseille, Aix-en-Provence, London, Lausanne, Rome, Milan. In 1957, she returned to Romania for the first time, with an exhibition at the Bucharest Art Gallery, and later, in 1970, at the Romanian Athenaeum. Her last exhibition was in 1974, but recent health problems prevented her from partaking. Magdalena Rădulescu deceased in Paris on the 2nd of April 1983, leaving behind almost 2000 works of art, out of which over 800 are held by museums and public or private collections.
