Csontváry Gallery

Submitted by cgs on Sun, 07/27/2008 at 8:05am.

This gallery in a small way presents some art-work of a Hungarian painter who began his landscape-painting in same space time when Maróczy began the international role, in 1895.

Maróczy left off the chess-playing in 1908. Csontváry’s last visionary closing picture was painted in 1909.

Both of them, they were great artists. Maróczy in the chess-playing, Csontváry in the plan-air painting. Here are some oil painting from works of Csontváry. He was a great traveller and he didn’t sell one picture in his life as Van Gogh.

Tivadar CSONTVÁRY-KOSZTKA and Vincent Van Gogh had born in same year, in 1853. Csontváry died in 1919.

The paintings of Csontváry you can see at this link: www.naput.hu

There is 58 painting. On the title page left below click the painting below the text: Csontváry a naput festo". Csontváry's life-work consist only 125 works. In bordered on the miraculous that the pictures escaped a tragic end, thanks to mere luck. Today's Hungarian studies of the history of art compares Csontváry's art right to the performance of the triumvirate of modern European painting, namely to the greatness of Cézanne, Gauguin, Van Gogh.
