Regele Ferdinand I al României
View through Europeana Collections
This bronze bust represents King Ferdinand I of Romania, portrayed with the solemn
dignity characteristic of official royal portraiture from the early 20th century. Sculpted by Vasile
Ionescu‑Varo (1887-1966), a Romanian artist known for his monumental works dedicated to national heroes and
historical figures, the piece reflects both academic training and the commemorative spirit of the interwar
period. The king is shown wearing a military ceremonial uniform, complete with richly detailed decorations,
medals, and a sash that crosses the chest. His facial features—firm jawline, neatly groomed mustache, and
steady, forward‑looking gaze—convey authority, resolve, and the calm determination associated with his reign
during World War I and the Great Union of 1918.
