Károly Ferenczy (February 8, 1862 – March 18, 1917) was a Hungarian painter and leading member of the Nagybánya artists' colony.〔Ilona Sármány-Parsons, ("Károly Ferenczy" ), Oxford Art Online〕 He was among several artists who went to Munich for study in the late nineteenth century, where he attended free classes by the Hungarian painter, Simon Hollósy. Upon his return to Hungary, Ferenczy helped found the artists colony in 1896, and became one of its major figures. Ferenczy is considered the "father of Hungarian impressionism and post-impressionism" and the "founder of modern Hungarian painting."〔(''The Retrospective Exhibition of Károly Ferenczy (1862-1917)'' ), 30 November 2011 - 17 June 2012, Hungarian National Gallery, accessed 30 January 2013〕 He has been collected by the Hungarian National Gallery, which holds 51 of his paintings, as well as other major and regional institutions, including the Ferenczy Károly Museum, founded in his birthplace of Szentendre, and private collectors. In 1966 the Hungarian National Gallery had a major exhibition of the colony's work: ''The Art of Nagybánya. Centennial Exhibition in Celebration of the Artists' Colony in Nagybánya.''〔(Valerie Majoros, "Lajos Tihanyi and his friends in the Paris of the nineteen-thirties" ), ''French Cultural Studies'', 2000, Vol. 11:387, Footnote, p. 388, Sage Publications, accessed 30 January 2013〕 In November 2011, it opened a large retrospective of Ferenczy, featuring him for six months, to enable more viewers to appreciate the breadth of his work.〔 ==Early life and education== Károly Ferenczy was born in 1862 to a Hungarian Jewish family〔(Adrian M. Darmon, ''Autour de l'art juif: Encyclopédie des peintres, photographes et sculpteurs'' ), Paris: Carnot, 2003, p. 240, accessed 1 February 2013〕 in Vienna, Austria.〔 His mother died soon after he was born.〔("The Ferenczy Family" ), ''The Retrospective Exhibition of Károly Ferenczy (1862-1917)'', 30 November 2011 - 17 June 2012, Hungarian National Gallery, accessed 2 February 2013〕 He first studied law and completed a degree from the College of Economy.〔("Karoly Ferenczy" ), Fine Arts of Hungary, accessed 2 February 2013〕 His future wife, Olga Fialka, encouraged Ferenczy to explore painting and he traveled in Italy. After studying in Paris in 1887 and starting to paint in Hungary, in 1893 he took his young family to Munich. They lived there until 1896, while he studied with the Hungarian painter Simon Hollósy and the circle of young artists around him.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Károly Ferenczy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
