Genealogia lui Ștefan Luchian
Genealogy of Ștefan Luchian

Summary/Abstract: On his father’s side, the painter Ştefan Luchian (1868-1916) descended from a family of Moldavian low boyars connected to the town of Galați. He was born in the small city of Ştefǎnești, in the district of Botoșani, because his father, major Dimitrie Luchian, was camped in the garrison there, in a military unit of border guards. Dimitrie Luchian was the son of serdar Vasile Luchian of Galați, the son of Dumitrache Luchian, a boyar from the Tutova district. The artist’s mother, Elena Luchian, born Chiriacescu, was the daughter of Iamandache Chiriacescu (Chiriac) and of his wife Anica, descended from Periețeanu boyar family, originated in the Ialomița district. Her family branch owned land in Perieți, near Slobozia, prior to the great expropriation of 1949. On the Periețeanu line, the ancestry of the painter – also in the old Doicescu family – can be reconstituted until the 17th century. Previous contributions to the research of the families that were in the ancestry of Ştefan Luchian were done by the art historian and critic Theodor Enescu (1926-1998), in an article published in “SCIA” in 1959 and by the genealogist Alexandru V. Perietzianu-Buzǎu (1911-1995), in an unpublished work about the Periețeanu families.
