(b Máramarossziget [now Sighet, Romania], 2 Feb 1857; d Técso [now Tyachiv, Ukraine], 8 May 1918). Hungarian painter and teacher. He started studying painting in Budapest but received most of his artistic training (1878–82) at the Akademie der Bildenden Künste in Munich. He then settled in Munich until 1895. The major work of his early period, Threshing Corn (1885; Budapest, N.G.), combines genre painting with carefully recorded naturalistic detail, very much in the spirit of Wilhelm Leibl and Jules Bastien-Lepage. He rebelled, however, against the academic tradition of history painting: in a small-scale sketch for Zrinyi Rides Forth (Esztergom, Mus. Christ.) the gentle style undermines the academic principles of the genre.
