"Shaped under the light of the West, a follower of the School of Paris, a student of Gustave Moreau, a colleague and friend of Henri Matisse, Pallady brought a new highlight, a vision and a concept that had never been seen in Romanian arts, with no apparent connection to our local environment and climate." (Ionel Jianu) His artistic training in Paris began at the workshop of Aman Jean, where he remained between 1889 and 1891, when he enrolled in the School of Fine Arts. He entered the workshop of Gustave Moreau, who had a strong influence on Pallady and whom the latter esteemed greatly. He was a colleague of Henri Matisse, Marquet, Manguin, Guérin and others. He continued his studies at his master's workshop even after Moreau's death, and he was taught by Aimé Morot and Fernand Cormont, until 1900, when he had to leave the school for reaching the age limit. He lived and worked in Paris for many years, with no direct contact with the fine arts in Romania, although his work marked the opening of a new path in Romanian painting. Pallady prefers interior nudes once he takes distance from the surrounding world and chooses to take shelter inside, in a world built with the proportions of the absolute. His female nudes have a close connection with his workshop, with both being the object of Pallady's tendency to idealise, becoming embodiments of his aspiration to perfection, possible only through the works of art. He is not interested in depicting the model's traits or in similarity, because, as he confesses, the model is just a pretext for the artist to express his emotions, so what is important is fitting the image to these feelings, not to the figure that is posing. The women in Pallady's paintings are symbols of love as a spiritualised feeling, leaving the world of physical desire. However, they do not lack voluptuousness, given by their naturalness and elegance.
