Paris of the East

Legend has it that Bucharest was founded by a shepherd named Bucur who built a church on the right bank of the Dâmbovita River. By the end of the 17th century, the city was the capital of Wallachia and ranked among southeastern Europe’s wealthiest cities. The early 20th century was Bucharest’s golden age where large neoclassical buildings sprang up, fashionable parks were laid out and landscaped on Parisian models and earning it its nickname. You will also see remnants of this in Romania canvas prints featuring this capital city. Sadly, the bombing by the Allies during WWII coupled with a 1940 earthquake measuring 7.4 on the Richter scale, destroyed much of Bucharest’s prewar beauty. Do not let that deter you though, as Romania canvas prints of Bucharest are still stunningly beautiful and can really make your rooms pop.

Architecture in Romania canvas prints

Even though Romania is full of architectural treasures, Bucharest in particular offers an unusual and sometimes uneasy mix of styles that combines the charming and almost organic shapes of 19th century architecture with the rigid lines of the Stalinist architecture. Romania canvas prints features some of these elements like the Palace of Parliament. The second largest administrative building in the world was built during Ceau?escu’s rule, a symbol of Communist architecture. Another striking structure seen in Romania canvas prints like "Bucharest Romania Skyline" is the Romanian Athenaeum. This architectural pearl of the 19th century constructed in Neo-Classical style houses the George Enescu Philharmonic and is the main concert hall during the George Enescu Festival.
