Ion Marinescu-Vâlsan (b. 1865, Mălureni, Argeș County — d. 1936, Mălureni, Argeș County) was a 20th-century Romanian painter. Many of his paintings feature picturesque landscapes from his hometown.
The painter Ion Marinescu-Vâlsan lived and painted in his native village, where he died, after a life of deprivation, poor and almost forgotten. No one knows where and how many of his paintings will still be. The Peasant Newspaper, which appeared in Mușătești, Argeș County, in the issue of June 17, 1901, under the signature of Al. Valescu, the owner of the newspaper, published an article entitled Pictorul Marinescu, in which he noted the favorable echo triggered in the press of the time by the painting exhibition opened by I. Marinescu - Vâlsan in the rotunda of the Romanian Athenaeum. Driven by the desire to improve himself, he went to Munich, Venice, Paris, etc., visiting and studying the great salons of German, Italian and French painters. Vâlsan had in his brush, like no other, the languid sadness of the villages, the bitterness of the Romanian wind and rain.
