Defining an artistic era or movement is often a difficult task, as one tries to group individualistic expressions and artwork under one broad brush. Such is the case with impressionism, which culls together the art of a multitude of painters in the mid-19th century, including Monet, Cézanne, Renoir, Degas, and van Gogh. Basically, impressionism involved the shedding of traditional painting methods. The subjects of art were taken from everyday life, as opposed to the pages of mythology and history.

«Visitar Rumanía significa vagar por valles y colinas en busca de joyas raras. Es difícil no maravillarse ante la vista de los famosos monasterios de Bucovina, en Moldavia, con sus coloridos frescos.» Rumanía, un destino no muy conocido en los confines de Europa, le reserva muchas sorpresas y múltiples encantos. Sus elegantes y coloridas villas, heredadas de la Edad Media o de la Belle Époque, son inevitablemente seductoras, empezando por las ciudades medievales de Transilvania, como Sibiu, Sighișoara y Brașov, pero también Timișoara con sus aires vieneses u Oradea, una joya del modernismo.
