that as far back as the
eighteenth century there
were two fine painters of
Hungarian nationality —
Johann Kupeczky (1667—
1740) and Adam Manyoky
(1673—1757)—but both
employed their talents
abroad. Kupeczky died
in Niirnberg, after living
or twenty-two years in
Rome; while Manyoky
was Court painter to Augus-
tus II. of Poland, and
subsequently to Augustus
III., King of Saxony, and
breathed his last in Dres-
den. Both were primarily
portrait painters, and were
largely influenced by Rem-
brandt and Van Dyck.

At the beginning of the
nineteenth century there
were practically no artists
in Hungary, the only one
of note being Mikl6s
Barabas, who died at a
great age a few years since
in Budapest. As for the
remaining two, they lived
and laboured abroad. One
of these was Karoly Marko,
a delicate landscapist of the
Claude type, whose home
was in Florence, where he
became a professor and
