Guide financed by Braşov County Council Written and devised: Radu Popica Proof: Simona Tătaru Photos: Nicolae Panaite , Răzvan Precup, Radu Tătaru, Árpád Udvardi DTP: Radu Tătaru English version: Alice Haţegan ISBN 978-606-93303-6-4 Cover: Ştefan Luchian, Anemone The National Gallery 1* comprises a selection of artworks (paintings and sculpture) which are representative for Romanian modern art. The exhibition illustrates the evolution of Transylvanian painting between the 18th and the 19th centuries and Romanian art from the first half of the19th century through to post-war years. Alongside the masterpieces of the Romanian art masters, the exhibition also includes the artworks of the artists active in Braşov, from the Saxon patriciate portraits to the contemporary artist’s creations. The Portrait of Joseph von Drauth (1709-1762), senator of the city of Braşov, painted by Johann Ölhan the Elder (?-1763), opens the exhibition. [ST] The painting is typical for Saxon patriciate portraiture, a provincial variant of portrait d`apparat. The artist insists on the details which indicate that the commissioner boasted a high social status (coat of arms, apparel, as well as on the objects which suggest the official duties he exercised. The City Hall and the buildings surrounding it, depicted in the background of the portrait, are also meant to illustrate his position. But the posture of the model is conventional and artificial. We find the same interest in underlining the social position of the model in the creation of an anonymous artist active in the late 1700s, who painted the Portrait of Oprea Ţârcă, the head of the shepherds’guild of Săcele. -

The Red Army Lei
A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE ROMANIAN LEU A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE ROMANIAN LEU The thaler was a very popular coin which came in many different shapes and enjoyed a wide circulation throughout Europe. The Leeuwendaalder (the lion-thaler or simply the lion) had an overwhelming influence on the money circulation in the Romanian provinces. Minted in the United Provinces of the Netherlands, the coin featured a rampant lion, standing on its back feet, on the reverse. The first issue of this type was minted in 1575 in the province of Holland. In the 17th century, the lion-thaler became the most frequently used high-value silver coin not only in the Romanian principalities, but also throughout the Balkan Peninsula. Greatly appreciated by the people and being circulated in vast amounts, the lion-thaler was even exhibited as merchandise in fairs across the Ottoman Empire. Before the minting of the lion-thaler was discontinued around the mid-18th century, the population in the Romanian principalities had come to identify the lion ( leu in Romanian) with money. This is the most illustrative evidence of the influence that the coin had on the Romanian monetary economy. The leu had become the unit of account both in Moldavia and Wallachia, subdivided into 40 parale . Consequently, calculations were made in lei and parale, whereas the payments were made in real currency, of different origins and denominations, at a pre-established exchange rate. a z 1774 1775 1812 1821 u C The Peace Treaty of Bukovina is annexed to The Treaty of Bucharest The rebellion Küçük Kaynarca is signed, the Habsburg Empire is signed between the led by Tudor n ending the Russian- Ottoman and the Russian Vladimirescu a Turkish War of 1768–1774 Empires. -
