Károly Ferenczy
Károly Ferenczy (born February 8, 1862 in Vienna , Austrian Empire as Carl Freund; died March 18, 1917 in Budapest , Austria-Hungary ) was a Hungarian impressionist painter .
Life
Carl Freund was the son of Ida Graenzenstein and the Austrian railway construction officer Karel Freund, who moved to Budapest with the construction company, was ennobled there and magyarized the family name to Ferenczy . Károly Ferenczy attended the Friedrich Lähne boys' education institution in Ödenburg and first began studying law in Vienna, then attended the economics faculty of the University of Vienna and then turned to art on the advice of his cousin and later wife Olga von Fialka . He enrolled at the Naples Art Academy ( Accad. Di Belle Arti ) in 1885 , but moved to Munich the following year , where he came into contact with István Csók and Simon Hollósy, among others . He spent the years 1887 to 1889 at the Académie Julian in Paris . Jules Bastien-Lepage was his greatest influence and he created his first pictures at the time in the style of French late naturalism .
In the following years Ferenczy joined an artists' colony in Szentendre , but went back to Munich in 1893 and deepened his connections with S. Hollósy and his friends. In 1896 they decided to settle together in Nagybánya (Frauenbach) and to found an artist colony and to open their own school. Ferenczy became one of the colony's leading artists and teachers.
After a successful exhibition in Budapest in 1906, he was given a professorship at the Hungarian Academy of Fine Arts and from then on he only spent the summer months in Nagybánya. In 1907 he became one of the founding members of MIÉNK .
Károly Ferenczy was married to the painter Olga Fialka , who gave up her profession for marriage. They had the children Valér ( eraser ), Béni ( sculptor ) and his twin sister Noémi ( picture maker ). Son Valér wrote a biography of his father in 1925, for which he received the Baumgarten Prize in 1935.
Afterlife
In 1951, the Károly Ferenczy Museum was established in Szentendre , which not only shows works by the father and mother but also works by the three children and keeps the estates.
