Initiated in painting by his uncle, Nicolae Teodorescu (1786 / 1797-1880), founder of the School of Painters in Buzău, the young Tattarescu would go on a prolific artistic journey. After graduating from the School of Painting (1831-1837), he shall attend the courses of Academia di San Luca ("Academy of Saint Luke") (1845-1851), also taking private lessons with the painter Natale Carta. He would travel to Italy, France, Great Britain, Belgium and Russia and from 1872 he would stand out in the artistic manifestations of Bucharest (The Exhibition of the Friends of Fine Arts 1872; Exhibition of the Living Artists, 1865, 1868, 1870, 1881; Exhibition of the Art Gallery, 1888; Romanian Athenaeum Salon, 1890; Retrospective Exhibition of Romanian Artists Painters and Sculptors from the last 50 years, 1927), and international exhibitions (Universal Exhibition in Paris, 1867; 1889). He would stand out through a perfect portraiture, along with compositions with a religious, historical, mythological or allegorical theme, genre scenes and landscapes. Along with the revolutionary portraiture that he approached around the 1848s, the artist would also address the national ideal, exhibited in works such as "The rebirth of Romania" (1849), "The awakening of Romania" (1850; 1866; 1885), "Nemesis, the goddess of revenge" (1853), "Union of Principalities" (1857) or "11 February 1866 - Modern Romania", initiatives that ranked the artist Tattarescu among the founders of Romanian militant painting.
