I used an older drawing of Mihai Eminescu, the national poet of Romania and I colored it in Photoshop, which you can see here [link]. This is the original drawing was finished on 12 of January, 2013, three day before the poet's birthday.
Mihai Eminescu (Romanian pronunciation: [miˈhaj emiˈnesku]; born Mihail Eminovici; January 15, 1850 – June 15, 1889) was a Romantic poet, novelist and journalist, often regarded as the most famous and influential Romanian poet.[1] Eminescu was an active member of the Junimea literary society and he worked as an editor for the newspaper Timpul ("The Time"), the official newspaper of the Conservative Party (1880–1918).
His poetry was first published when he was 16 and he went to Vienna to study when he was 19. The poet's Manuscripts, containing 46 volumes and approximately 14,000 pages, were offered by Titu Maiorescu as a gift to the Romanian Academy during the meeting that was held on January 25, 1902. Notable works include Luceafărul (The Vesper/The Evening Star/The Lucifer/The Daystar), Odă în metru antic (Ode in Ancient Meter), and the five Letters (Epistles/Satires). In his poems he frequently used metaphysical, mythological and historical subjects. In general his work was influenced by the German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer.
Translation of the verses and quotes (from the up left to down right):
1. Dreary the sounds in the eve on the hill,
Sheepflocks return, stars on their way twinkle still,
Watersprings weep murmuring clear, and I see
Under a tree, love, thou art waiting for me.
2. Equality exists only in mathematics.
3. History meditates, although slowly, but fair and safe.
4. Down where the lonely poplars grow
How often have I erred;
My steps that all the neighbours know
You only have not heard.
5. What I wish you, sweet Romania
My country of glory, my country of longing?
Nervous arms, the weapon of strength,
To your great past, a great future!
The motto written/drawn in green: TIMES ARE PASSING, TIMES ARE COMING
