Gheorghe D. Vintilă – the portrait of an art collector

Summary/Abstract: Gheorghe D. Vintilă was an important art collector from Romania, who contributed to the establishment of the only Romanian modern art museum located in a rural area. The works of art that he acquired during about 40 years, totaling 340 works of art, of which the majority of paintings, but also works of graphics and sculpture, are today part of the national heritage, due to the fact that a part of them (228 works of art) were donated by him, in 1960, to the City Hall of Topalu commune, Constanța county, others (47 works) were donated in 1961 to the newly established Constanța Art Museum, and 65 works of art were gradually acquired in the period 1962–1973, by the Constanța Art Museum. The works of art from Gheorghe Vintilă's collection represent synthetically and highlight the evolution of Romanian art from the second half of the 19th century and the first half of the 20th century.
