The show of Károly Ferenczy's oeuvre in the Hungarian National Gallery is part of an exhibition series, consisting of large-scale solo exhibitions that review the history of Hungarian modern art. The name of Károly Ferenczy is mainly remembered in connection with the Nagybánya Colony of Artists that began in 1896. By shaping of a Hungarian version of impressionism and postimpressionism, Károly Ferenczy was considered one of the founders of modern Hungarian painting art.
