Death and legacy |
Ibbetson died on 13 October 1817 and was buried in the churchyard of St Mary's, Masham. |
Benjamin West described Ibbetson as the "Berchem of England" in recognition of his debt to the Dutch 17th century landscape painters. According to Mitchell, "[h]is watercolours are prized for their delicacy and sureness of line." Many were engraved for projects such as John Church's A Cabinet of Quadrupeds and John Boydell's Shakespeare Gallery. Samuel Haslem Scott described him as "a portly, jovial person." |

Jozsef Borsos (21 December 1821, in Veszprém – 19 August 1883, in Budapest) was a Hungarian portrait painter and photographer; best known for his genre paintings in the Biedermeier style. |
Life and work |
His father, Márton Borsos was a lawyer, editor and publisher. From 1837, he was a student of the religious artist, József Károly Schöfft, in Budapest. He transferred to the Academy of Fine Arts, Vienna in 1840, where he studied with Leopold Kupelwieser. In 1843, he changed schools again, attending a private academy operated by Ferdinand Georg Waldmüller. |
He initially chose to live in Vienna, with a large clientele from the Austrian aristocracy. Financially successful, he lost most of his money speculating in the stock market, and returned to Budapest in 1861. There, he chose to abandon painting and opened a photography studio, together with a painter and photographer known as Doctor Albert. Once again, he was able to accumulate a considerable fortune, but gave up photography and opened a restaurant, the "Szép Juhászné", which he ran for the rest of his life. |
Many of his works are in private collections, but some may be seen at the Hungarian National Gallery. |

József Rippl-Rónai (23 May 1861 – 25 November 1927) was a Hungarian painter. He first introduced modern artistic movements in the Hungarian art. |
Biography |
He was born in Kaposvár. After his studies at the high school there, he went to study in Budapest, where he obtained a degree in pharmacology. In 1884, he traveled to Munich to study painting at the Academy. Two years later, he obtained a grant which enabled him to move to Paris and study with Mihály Munkácsy, the most important Hungarian realist painter. In 1888, he met the members of Les Nabis and under their influence he painted his first important work, The Inn at Pont-Aven, notable for its dark atmosphere. His first big success was his painting My Grandmother (1894). He also painted a portrait of Hungarian pianist and composer Zdenka Ticharich (1921). |
Later, he returned to Hungary, where critical reception was at first lukewarm, but he eventually had a successful exhibition entitled "Rippl-Rónai Impressions 1890-1900". He believed that, for an artist, not only is his body of work significant, but also his general modus vivendi, even including the clothes he wore. He thus became interested in design, which led to commissions such as the dining room and the entire furnishings of the Andrássy palace, and a stained-glass window in the Ernst Museum, (both in Budapest). Between 1911 and 1913, his exhibitions in Frankfurt, Munich, and Vienna were highly successful. His last major work, a portrait of his friend Zorka, was painted in 1919, and in 1927, he died at his home, the Villa Róma in Kaposvár. |

Molenaer was born and died in Haarlem in the family of tailor Jan Mienssen Molenaer and his second wife Grietgen Adriaens: they would get 8 children of whom no birthdates are known, as the family was Roman Catholic and no baptismal register was kept. |

Konrad Witz (1400/1410 probably in Rottweil, Germany – winter 1445/spring 1446 in Basel, in current day Switzerland) was a painter, active mainly in Basel. |
Life |
In 1434 he entered the painters’ guild in Basel, where he worked most of his life. |
His 1444 panel The Miraculous Draft of Fishes (a portion of a lost altarpiece) has been credited as the earliest extant faithful portrayal of a landscape in European art history, being based on observation of real topographical features. |
Witz is most famous for painting three altarpieces, all of which survive only partially. The earliest is the Heilspiegel Altarpiece of about 1435, which today is mostly in the Kunstmuseum, Basel, and with isolated panels in other collections. The next is the Altarpiece of the Virgin (c. 1440), which has been associated with panels now in Basel, Nuremberg, and Strasbourg (Saint Madeleine and Saint Catherine, Musée de l'Œuvre Notre-Dame). Witz's final altarpiece is the St. Peter Altarpiece of 1444, painted for St. Peter's Cathedral, Geneva, and now in the Musée d'Art et d'Histoire, Geneva, which contains his most famous composition, the Miraculous Draft of Fishes. |
The painting of St. Christopher (Kunstmuseum, Basel; illustrated) does not seem to be related to these major altarpieces. Other independent works by Witz and his followers can be found in Naples, Berlin, and New York (Frick Collection). The Ambraser Hofjagdspiel is attributed to him. |

Károly Brocky, or Charles Brocky (Temesvár, 22 May 1808 – London, 8 July 1855) was a Hungarian painter. |
He was the son of a hairdresser, who died whilst his son was still young. To gain a living the youth joined a body of strolling actors. After passing through many vicissitudes, he was at length placed in a free drawing school at Vienna, whence he went to Paris, where he studied at the École du Louvre. When about thirty years of age he visited London, where he took up his abode. His first contribution to the Royal Academy was in 1839, and from that time he exhibited portraits, ideal subjects, and miniatures on ivory somewhat frequently; amongst others a 'Nymph ' (in oil) in 1850, and 'Spring,' 'Summer,' 'Autumn,' and 'Winter' in 1852. He died in 1855. A sketch of his life by Norman Wilkinson was published in 1870. |

Károly Ferenczy (February 8, 1862 – March 18, 1917) was a Hungarian painter and leading member of the Nagybánya artists' colony. |
He was among several artists who went to Munich for study in the late nineteenth century, where he attended free classes by the Hungarian painter, Simon Hollósy. Upon his return to Hungary, Ferenczy helped found the artists colony in 1896, and became one of its major figures. Ferenczy is considered the "father of Hungarian impressionism and post-impressionism" and the "founder of modern Hungarian painting". |
He has been collected by the Hungarian National Gallery, which holds 51 of his paintings, as well as other major and regional institutions, including the Ferenczy Károly Museum, founded in his birthplace of Szentendre, and private collectors. |
In 1966 the Hungarian National Gallery had a major exhibition of the colony's work: The Art of Nagybánya. Centennial Exhibition in Celebration of the Artists' Colony in Nagybánya. In November 2011, it opened a large retrospective of Ferenczy, featuring him for six months, to enable more viewers to appreciate the breadth of his work. |
