His father was a priest and he learned the rudiments of art by painting icons.[1] Later, he went to Bucharest, where he studied at the "School of Decorative Arts", operated by Ana Rosetti, then to Iași, where he continued his studies with Niccolò Livaditti.[2] He was diagnosed with tuberculosis in 1830, but still travelled to Athens, where he received praise for his portraits. In 1840, this enabled him to win a scholarship to Rome, but he preferred Paris and completed his artistic training there with Léon Cogniet and Michel Martin Drolling, followed by a stay in Vienna to learn lithography.[3]
When he returned, he joined the literacy campaign of Ion Heliade-Rădulescu, providing engravings and other illustrations, as well as doing translations from French and editing the magazine Curierul Românesc, for which he wrote numerous articles. He also produced a novel, a play and a book of Romanian neologisms.[1]
He was a member of the revolutionary society "Frăția", and participated in the events of 1848, helping to produce and print a manifesto. He served briefly as the prefect of Prahova County; appointed by the revolutionary Interior Minister, Nicolae Golescu.[2] After the revolutionaries were defeated, he took refuge in Brașov, but was captured and sentenced to internal exile in Bursa, where his tuberculosis worsened.[3] He died while under treatment in Istanbul.
