Gyula von Benczur (1844 - 1920)
Technique: oil painting on canvas Dimensions: 43 x 56 cm The painting, probably an academic study, could refer to the production of the years '80 by the great Hungarian painter. Right from 1883 (until his death) he was professor and director of the Graduate School of Art in Budapest, and the splendid Narciso, now preserved in the Magyar Nemzeti Galéria in Budapest, also dates back to the 1980s. We can see strong similarities with this painting: the bare environment, the stone wall on which the protagonist leans and the light that places the accent on Narcissus's sculptural anatomy are all elements that refer to the nude presented here. In this case, as in the Budapest painting, we have a Benczùr far from the Rococo-style paintings, commissioned by King Ludwig II, but a painter with a more intimate character, which makes this work particularly rare and appreciable. The first canvas bore an uppercase italicized G, accompanied by two other characters. Reintelated, framed.
