Bábony, a small village in the valley of the Kiskoppány rivulet on the west of the Danube, used to be Rudnay's favourite haunt. Invited by his brother in law, he went there for the first time in his life. Bábony turned out to be an inexhaustible subject matter with its small white houses, fences in need of repair, farm-yards, sweep-pole wells, roads edged with poplars and the slopes which he painted in plein-air style landscapes until the rest of his life. Landscapes reflect his changing mood: pictures do not always mean a challenge, they only serve as projections of his emotions. In "Street at Nagybábony" he expressed his lyric thoughts with simple tools.
