Mișu Popp (March 19, 1827 – March 6, 1892) was a romanian painter and muralist.
Biography
Born in Brașov, in the Principality of Transylvania, he was the eighth child of Ioan Popp Moldovan de Galați (1774–1869) and Elena (1783–1867), born Ivan, a family from the Făgăraș region. His father was a church muralist, painter, and sculptor.
Popp finished his art studies in 1848, at the Academy of Fine Arts from Vienna, where he developed a serious academic style.
His paintings are displayed in Bucharest at the Romanian Literature Museum and the National Art Museum, as well as in museums in Arad, Brașov, Ploiești, and Sibiu. A street in Râșnov bears his name.[1] He is buried in Brașov's Groaveri cemetery.[2]
