oil on canvas, frame, 40 × 32 cm, signed. LD Bánsághi V.Vincent Bánsaghi drew his subjects for his plein air paintings from the
at the confluence of the Danube and the Iplá rivers, where he settled permanently after his studies. In his
themes, he preferred neither impressionistic nor radical technique
pointillism and direct daylight, but rather a spiritual stylization of color
composition and the mysteriousness of light.
He was one of the few Slovak pre-revolutionary artists who
explicitly espoused classical impressionism. However, in reality
rather he emphasized the attribute "classical", which in Bánsághi's case was
synonymous with artistic austerity, stylistic neatness and "pre-secession"
decorativeness.
Vincent Bánsaghi, real name Steinacher, was born in
1881 in Resita, Romania and died in 1960 in Chľab. After studying
in Budapest and Paris, he settled permanently and worked in Chľab, Slovakia.
