Gheorghe Asachi (1 March 1788-1869) was a Romanian Humanist, prose writer, poet, painter, and dramatist. Asachi was born in the small town of Herţa near Dorohoi. Asachi was a polymath, contributing to such artistic fields as fiction writing, play-wrighting, painting, and journalism as well as more technical fields such as engineering and pedagogy. However, his leading achievement remains the Mihăileana Academy, opened in 1835.
