Istrate Vasile
Istrate Vasile is a Byzantine icon painting artist. 4 works are cataloged here, principally at Moldova National Museum Complex.
A Romanian artist from the mid-20th century, Istrate Vasile made prints and paintings of daily life. His 1974 print Iași captures the city’s streetscape in grainy monochrome. He also painted Țăran cooperator, showing a cooperative farmer at work, and the historic Veche ctitorie Sf. Sava, a view of an old church in Bucharest. You can step into a similar moment with Joc de copii, a print of children at play.
