Art and Heritage in Central Europe<\/h1>

The life\u2019s work of P\u00e1l Szinyei Merse, an outstanding master of nineteenth-century Hungarian painting and one of the most influential figures in Hungarian art, is the subject of the latest exhibition at the Hungarian National Gallery, Budapest. The exhibition of around 120 works examines the connections between the paintings in Szinyei Merse\u2019s \u0153uvre and the cult surrounding the artist. As the evolution of his art and the history of his cult unfold side by side, visitors are offered a new perspective on the artist\u2019s prominent position in cultural history.<\/p>\n

The exhibition presents Szinyei Merse\u2019s key works in their Hungarian context and in relation to thematic and painterly parallels from the international (primarily German, Austrian and French) art scene of his times. More than twenty paintings by international artists have been kindly loaned to the show by distinguished public and private collections, including masterpieces by Monet, Sisley, Corot, Courbet and Gainsborough. The exhibition provides not only a rich selection of Szinyei Merse\u2019s \u0153uvre, including several pieces rarely seen in public, but also a detailed overview of his cult, revealed through the works of past masters such as K\u00e1roly Ferenczy, J\u00f3zsef Rippl-R\u00f3nai and Aur\u00e9l Bern\u00e1th, and contemporary artists including Gyula Konkoly, Endre T\u00f3t and \u00c1bel Szab\u00f3.<\/p>\n

Hungarian National Gallery in Budapest, 12 November 2021 \u2013 13 February 2022.<\/p>\n

The exhibition is accompanied by a catalogue in Hungarian and English. Curators of the exhibition are Orsolya Hessky, R\u00e9ka Krasznai and Adrienn Pr\u00e1gai.<\/p>\n
