The Jews Defeating Amalek's Army

In 1913, reacting to the pre-world war one crisis, Fényes's art suddenly changed. He became immersed in the Bible and constructed a fairy-tale world inspired by the Old Testament. Symbolic compositions of Biblical battles were his response to the war, thus the series of so-called Biblical Landscapes came into being. Seventy of these paintings exhibited at his show in 1918 received great critical acclaim.
