Kimon Loghi remains in the history of Romanian art as the only painter who fully assumed a European Symbolism, managing to shape it according to the typically local artistic environment. Trained in our country, at the School of Fine Arts led by Aman and Mirea, Loghi found himself as an artist during the years spent in Germany, in Munich, where, under the protective wing of Franz von Stuck, he defined his style. The period dominated by studies and travels was followed by an intense activity in the country, confirmed by his constant participation in the events organised by the Artistic Youth, which he also led for a while (1927-1940). As part of the generation of artists who created in the Romantic age, Kimon Loghi's works are inspired by the dream-like world of Romanian fairy tales. His choice of the world of legends and phantasies reminds us of the themes used in the English Pre-Raphaelitism, which Loghi shaped to his own unmistakeable style.
