Encyclopedia : T : TH : THE : Theodor Pallady
Theodor Pallady (1871, Iaşi—1956, Bucharest) was a Romanian painter.
At a young age, Pallady moved to Dresden, where he studied engineering between 1887 and 1889, while at the same time studying art with Erwin Oehme, who, recognising his artistic intuition, suggested that he go to Paris. In Paris, Pallady worked in the studio of Jean Arman and enrolled in the Academy of Fine Arts (Académie des Beaux-Arts). In 1892, he worked in the studio of Gustave Moreau, where he had as colleagues Henri Matisse, Georges Rouault, and Albert Marquet.
In 1904, Pallady returned to Romania, where he held an exhibition at the Romanian Athenaeum. However, he maintained close connections with Paris, where he continued to hold many personal exhibitions, up until World War II. He also exhibited at the Venice Biennale in 1924, 1940 and 1942.
The Theodor Pallady Museum in Bucharest, a branch of the National Museum of Art of Romania, has only six of Pallady's paintings; it is housed in Bucharest's oldest private lodging. Other works of Pallady's are features of the National Museum's main collection, at Bucharest's Zambaccian Museum, the Palace of Culture in Iaşi, the Argeş County Museum in Piteşti, and the National Brukenthal Museum in Sibiu.
