Ion Negulici

Ion Negulici (1812 in Câmpulung – 5 April 1851 in Istanbul) was a Romanian painter who participated in the Wallachian Revolution of 1848.

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 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.
