SZINYEI MERSE, Pál
(1845, Szinyeújfalu - 1920, Jernye)

Lark

1882
Oil on canvas, 163 x 127 cm
Hungarian National Gallery, Budapest

With this picture, Szinyei carried on with the subject matter of "Picnic in May" after a break of several years. He painted the landscape from memory, but he had a model to pose for the nude. Details of the compositions, i.e. the landscape, the nude and the sky, are not in closely connected, so the picture, no matter how beautiful it is, does not rival "Picnic in May".
