PUBLIC MONUMENTS. THE IDENTITY CONSTRUCTS IN MODERN ROMANIA (1866-1918). PRELIMINARY STUDY

Summary/Abstract: Considered rather from the perspective of the transformation undertaken in the economic or political fi eld, the modernization of Romanian society also involved an interesting process in the artistic fi eld unfolded in the second half of the 19th century. The  phenomenon of public monuments in the Romanian areal never meant just a matter of artistic taste but also a reality of the society, manifested as an important step in the Europeanization process which the Romanian State has acknowledged after 1959. Beyond discourses on the rhythm and modernization model that Romania should follow, marking the whole 19th century, through their existential  story, the public monuments built north of the Danube were a clear proof of the adoption of the French culture and civilization model that followed the previous political, economical and cultural isolation from Occidental Europe.
