Modern Hungarian painting first emerged in Nagybánya in the last years of the 19th century. It was as if the dull curtains of romanticism and academism had been torn open and a reality exuding colour and vitality had suddenly flooded the stage.

Painters left the studio and entering the landscape they began painting in nature, discovering a new world: the thus far unknown brilliance of light and shadow, and colours vibrating in the air. Many types of talented people worked in the artists’ colony, patiently observing one another and enjoying how they were able to immerse themselves in the many painterly opportunities provided by the landscape. They even depicted biblical themes in the natural environment.

Painting in the open air was not simply a technical innovation or method but an act of symbolic importance, allowing artists to enter the realm of artistic freedom. The writer Sándor Bródy saw “the beautiful future of Hungarian painting” in these artists.

At the beginning of the 20th century there were artists whose lonely artistic path took a different direction. With his landscape compositions and scenes replete with figures Csontváry turned to the myths of biblical dimensions from bygone cultures thousands of years in the past. In his art Gulácsy engaged in a play with costumed figures from the Renaissance and the Baroque, while Mednyánszky descended into the depths of human destiny and the soul.
