Abstract

Romanian culture developed a special
interest for Oriental themes, embodied in various forms of artistic manifestations,
so that, in time, a number of writers (Dimitrie Cantemir, Cilibi Moise, Anton
Pann, Dimitrie Bolinineanu, Mihail Sadoveanu, Ion Barbu, Mateiu Caragiale, Eugen
Barbu, Silviu Angelescu among them), dramatists (Ion Luca Caragiale, Victor Ion
Popa), painters (Theodor Aman, Nicolae Tonitza), musicians (Dimitrie Cantemir, Anton
Pann) have become well-known for being perceptibly attached to the Turkish
world, and for the developing a specific lexis in order to praise the
magnificence and wisdom of the Orient.
