- Life and work
Alexandru Bellu (1850-1921) cames from a family of wealthy landowners who came from Macedonia into Romania. He does his studies in Law in Paris and enters the media intellectuals and artists of the period. Alexandru meets Nadar in his studio (35 Boulevard des Capucine) and the Impressionists. But more important it is his friendship with the Romanian painter Nicolae Grigorescu. With this painter will be friends for life.
In Paris and in Italy, Alexander Bellu is initiated in photography by Nadar and near the Alinari brothers from Florence, who lends their lab to make its "tirages".
