Ştefan Luchian - (n. 1 februarie 1868, Ştefăneşti, Botoşani - d. 28 iunie 1916, Bucureşti), pictor
român, denumit poetul plastic al florilor.
La sfârşitul secolului XIX şi începutul secolului XX Ştefan Luchian era deja recunoscut drept pictorul român cel mai important. Un succesor inspirat al
lui Nicolae Grigorescu şi Ion Andreescu, consideraţi "părinţii" picturii româneşti, Luchian îşi făcuse
simţită prezenţa în peisajul artistic prin lucrările sale remarcabile. A pictat peisaje, portrete, naturi moarte, mai ales flori. Peisajele sale demonstrează
interesul său pentru natură şi pentru simbioza dintre vegetaţia abundentă şi fiinţa umană.

He was born in Ştefăneşti, a village of Botoşani County, as the son of Major Dumitru Luchian and of Elena Chiriacescu. By the end of the 19th century and beginning of the 20th century, Stefan Luchian
was the Romanian painter with the most remarkable creation. He was an inspired follower of Nicolae Grigorescu and Ion Andreescu, the two famous fathers of the Romanian painting. He did paint landscapes and portraits as much as he did
paint compositions and still life, especially flowers. His landscapes equally show the interest in
picturesque sights of nature for once and in the symbiosis between abundant vegetation and
human appearances for another.
Starting autumn 1889 Luchian studied for two semesters at the Munich Fine Arts Academy,
where he created copies of the works by Correggio and Rembrand housed in the
Kunstareal. After his return to Romania, he took part in the first exhibition of the Cercul Artistic art
group.He showed himself unable to accept the academic
guidelines imposed by the Bavarian and Romanian schools. The following year, he left for Paris, where he studied at the Académie Julian,
and, although taught by the academic artist William-Adolphe Bouguereau, became acquainted with impressionist works of art. Luchian's painting
Ultima cursă de toamnă shows the influence of Édouard Manet and Edgar Degas, but also echoes
of the Société des Artistes Indépendants, Modernism, and Post-impressionism (also obvious
in works created after his return to Bucharest).
