Nagybánya colony.
Hungarian painters’ colony, founded in 1896 in north-eastern Hungary. The idea of the colony was conceived in Simon Hollósy’s painting academy in Munich, when János Thorma (1870–1937) and István Réti persuaded Hollósy to choose the small mining town of Nagybánya (now Baia Mare, Romania) for his private summer school. Béla Iványi Grünwald and Károly Ferenczy also helped to found the colony. For Hollósy and his associates the small town soon became more than a convenient location for their summer workshop, and they eventually settled there. In the next six years Hollósy continued to attract Hungarian and foreign pupils from Munich to Nagybánya every summer. After his departure in 1902 the colony abolished tuition fees and continued to attract 50 to 70 students per year.
