Gyula (1844) Benczúr Sold at Auction Prices

Painter, Illustrator, b. 1844 - d. 1920

Gyula Benczúr (28 January 1844, Nyíregyháza – 16 July 1920, Szécsény) was a Hungarian painter and art teacher. He specialized in portraits and historical scenes.

His family moved to Kassa when he was still very young and he displayed an early talent for drawing. He began his studies in 1861 with Hermann Anschutz and Johann Georg Hiltensperger (1806–1890). From 1865 to 1869, he studied with Karl von Piloty.

He achieved international success in 1870 when he won the Hungarian national competition for historical painting with his depiction of King Stephen's baptism. He then assisted Piloty with the frescoes at the Maximilianeum and the Rathaus in Munich and illustrated books by the great German writer, Friedrich Schiller. King Ludwig II of Bavaria gave him several commissions.

He was named a Professor at the Academy of Fine Arts, Munich, in 1875. Soon after, he built a home in Ambach on Lake Starnberg; designed by his brother Béla. In 1883, he returned to Hungary, where he continued to be an art teacher. One of his most distinguished pupils was the Swiss-born American painter Adolfo Müller-Ury. Benczúr was later a favorite among the Hungarian upper-class, painting numerous portraits of kings and aristocrats. He also created some religious works; notably altarpieces for St. Stephen's Basilica and Buda Castle.

He was an honorary member of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. Streets have been named after him in Balassagyarmat, Balatonkenese, Berettyóújfalu, Bonyhád, Budapest, Debrecen, Jászberény, Komló, Pécs, Szabadszállás, Szeged and Košice. His daughters Olga (1875–1962) and Ida (1876–1970) also became well-known artists.

    Gyula Kardos, 1857 Baja, Ungarn – 1908 Montecarlo, zug.

    Est: €4,000 - €6,000

    PRÜFUNG HIOBS Öl auf Leinwand. 66 x 66 cm. Rechts unten in den Ölgrund geritzte und später nachgezogene Signatur. Ungerahmt. Der Maler wurde, wie mehrere ungarische Künstler der Zeit, darunter Gyula von Benczur (1844-1920), an der Akademie in München ausgebildet, mehrere seiner Werke widmen sich religiöser Thematik. Die Szene zeigt Hiob, gemäß des Bibeltextes, in einem Gefängnis auf Stroh liegend, im Beisein weiterer Figuren in altorientalischer Tracht. Aufgrund der hohen malerischen Qualität und des Pinselstriches handelt es sich möglicherweise um eine Wiederholung von der Hand des Künstlers oder Kopie nach dem Original, entstanden 1900, das sich im Ungarischen Nationalmuseum in Budapest befindet.
