Sándor Nyilasy worked in the Munich school of Simon Hollósy at the beginning. He was influenced by Rembrandt there; only the tone of his colours was colder.
It was Károly Ferenczy, who taught him a lot in Nagybánya. His fresh, lively colours, the decorative features of his view of nature, betray the influence of the master's painterly views. Later he continued his work in Szeged, in a way that suited his personality and his new environment the most.
The Sunday makes it evident that, as he inherited from Nagybánya, Nyilasy was interested in light and plein-air problems even ten years later. Nevertheless, the methods chosen for their solution are not the ones of Nagybánya anymore. His colours are darker, more dissolved, smoother; not so filled with light, vibrating lively, like the ones we can meet on paintings from Nagybánya. A different air, different landscape, different colours, different human environment and a different temperament appears in them.
