## About Dimitrie Berea

Dimitrie Berea (1908–1975) was a Romanian painter who is also identified in international authority records as an engraver. Library and vocabulary records connect variant forms of his name, including Dimitri Berea, to the same artist. The strongest institutional evidence in this source set comes from Art UK, which catalogs a group of his paintings in the Government Art Collection. These works include London subjects such as The Mall, Whitehall, St James’s Street, Horse Guards, the Dorchester on coronation night, and the River Thames toward Tower Bridge. Several are dated June 1953, giving collectors a documented cluster of British urban and ceremonial scenes. Berea’s work may therefore enter appraisal contexts both under variant names and through recognizable city views tied to specific places and dates. The available sources do not establish a formal movement or provide a complete career history, so broader stylistic labels should be used cautiously.

## Common works and media

Collectors may encounter Berea’s paintings of streets, landmarks, rivers, and other urban settings. Art UK documents multiple London views, including ceremonial scenes and named locations from 1953. VIAF also identifies him as an engraver, so engravings or related works on paper may require consideration, although this source pack does not establish their auction frequency. Titles, depicted landmarks, dates, medium statements, and attribution evidence should be compared carefully with institutional and auction records.

## Market and appraisal context

A Dimitrie Berea appraisal should begin by confirming that the artist identity and name variant match established authority records. Medium, technique, subject, depicted location, title, and date can then be compared with documented works and relevant public auction lots. The London paintings cataloged by Art UK provide particularly useful reference points for works associated with June 1953 and the coronation period. Provenance and any connection to documented exhibitions or collections should be evaluated from original records. Appraisily auction data can supply comparable lots, sale dates, and realized prices when sufficiently similar records are available, but the present source pack does not support a general price trend or prediction.

## Appraisily data basis

Appraisily artist pages combine public artist-identity research with auction records, auction-house context, sale dates, realized prices, and comparable lots when those records are available. Claims are limited to the evidence supplied by authority, institutional, and market sources.
