The Salon of Madame de Maintenon

Like other Hungarian painters, Fényes was affected from 1907 on by the wave of art nouveau. Interiors of peasant cottages rendered in a decorative manner, the ornamental richness of the interior of the palace of Fontainebleau and still-lifes with a rational spatial structure followed one another. This period, lasting till 1913, did not produce a homogeneous style, though its predominant influence was the art nouveau.
