few days of that statesman’s death, must be
reckoned among his finest achievements. The
whole attitude of the sitter shows weariness and
lassitude while the expression of the features tells of
mental and bodily suffering. Other portraits by
the same artist revealed fine qualities. Laszlo’s
Portrait of Baron Gyula Forster was an excellent
example of his technical skill. Sandor Papp’s
portrait of a lady wearing a gown of old rose hue and
a large black hat was another agreeable work.
Ede Ballo, one of Hungary’s older painters,
exhibited some striking portraits of Hungarian
noblemen in gala uniform, which proved of interest
not only on account of the persons depicted but
also because of the painter’s shrewd characterisation
of his sitters and the able manner in which he has
handled his materials. Leopold Horovitz, who is
also a member of the Vienna Kiinstlerhaus, was
represented by one portrait only, that of a young
girl, admirably refined in colouring and delicately
manipulated. Gyula Glatter’s picture of a fair lady
wearing a long blue mantle bordered with white
fox was pleasing, but his portrait of an old lady
was far better as a work of art. Reszo Zsombolya-
Burghardt, who studied under J. S. Sargent, showed
240
good qualities in his manner of painting; a fine
colourist, he has a clever method of handling
his brush and a decidedly personal manner of
depiction. _
A number of good landscapes were shown,
and here one noted a pleasing variety of subjects
culled not only from Hungary itself, which as a
country offers so much to the landscape painter,
but from places farther afield. Baron Laszlo
Mednyanszky exhibited several pictures, all bearing
the impress of his dreamy fantasy, studies of trees
and of waters, delicately, intimately depicted with
the brush of a master living in his own world of
beautiful thoughts which he transcribes on the
canvas in gentle tones of browns and greys. There
are few who could fail to appreciate the
landscapes of this gifted painter. There were
also some fine landscapes by Arnold Zorn, one
of which, showing St. Moritz in the glow of a
burning sunset with dark mountains behind, was
remarkable for its dexterous treatment of light
effects. Gyula Kosztolanyi-Kann was particularly
happy in the treatment of the water reflections in
his delightful picture of the old town of Treviso,
