The National Art Museum of Moldova will inaugurate the temporary exhibition Eminescian Resonances (Painting, Graphics, Sculpture) From the Collection of the National Art Museum of Moldova

The current exhibition is occasioned by the 175th anniversary of the birth of the romantic figure of Romanian literature, Mihai Eminescu, celebrated on both banks of the Prut River. The National Art Museum of Moldova has joined the cultural events planned for 2025, declared the Year of Eminescu, by organizing an exhibition of paintings, graphics, and sculptures, well-known and appreciated in the local artistic milieu.

The museum's exhibition and the works on display represent a space where the characters of Mihai Eminescu coexist—Luceafărul, Călin, Sărmanul Dionis, Făt-Frumos din tei, Pajul Cupidon, and many others—offering a cosmic, universal dimension.

Among the reference works in Bessarabian painting dedicated to Luceafărul are Mihai Grecu's Şi eu voi fi pământ (1973-1985), Elena Bontea's Luceafărul (1989), Eleonora Romanescu's painting După scrisoarea a III-a (1988), and Vasile Naşcu's Dedicaţie (1989).

Eminescian echoes can also be found in the works of younger-generation painters: Andrei Sârbu (Sonet; De treci codrii de aramă..., 1989), Ghenadie Jalbă (Pe lângă plopii fără soț, 1989), Vasile Moşanu (Sărmanul Dionis, 1989), Ghenadie Tâciuc (Metamorfoze, 1989), Ilie Cojocaru (Închinare poetului, 1989), Tudor Zbârnea (Iar când voi fi pământ, 1989), and Maria Mardare-Fusu with her work Au ieşit Luceferii la mal (1985).

Valuable works related to Eminescu's oeuvre in the field of book graphics include illustrations dedicated to Mihai Eminescu's poetry, signed by Boris Nesvedov (Călin nebunul, 1957), Igor Vieru (Din străinătate, 1964; Lacul, 1964), Aurel David (Arborele Eminescu, 1966), Emil Childescu (Povestea codrilor, 1986), Isai Cârmu (Sărmanul Dionis, 1993), Gheorghe Vrabie (Luceafărul, 1974), and Eudochia Zavtur's Compozițiile I și II. Dedicație lui Mihai Eminescu (1989), complemented by the graphics of Vasile Movileanu, Simion Zamșa, Mihail Mireanu, Petru Balan, and Oleg Cojocaru.

From the National Art Museum's sculpture collection, works by Vladimir Novicov (the ceramic cycle Interferenţe culturale (6 objects)), the bust of Mihai Eminescu by the renowned Romanian sculptor Ion Jalea, alongside the busts of Mihai Eminescu by Dumitru Scvorțov-Rusu and Mihai Eminescu (1956) by Lazăr Dubinovschi—one of his most famous works—are exhibited, as well as the relief Luceafărul cast by Ion Zderciuc.
