MÉSZÖLY Géza

(1844, Sárbogárd - 1887, Jobbágyi)

Balatoni halásztanya 1877 Olaj, vászon, 140 x 226 cm Magyar Nemzeti Galéria, Budapest

Ez a nagyméretû kép - Mészöly egyik fõmûve - Münchenben készült. Trefort Ágost kultuszminiszter rendelte meg 1874-ben a Magyar Nemzeti Múzeum részére.

A mûvészettörténészek gyakran összekapcsolják Mészöly nevét Camille Corot nevével, a század elején a "magyar Corot" elnevezéssel illették. Ez nem véletlen, Mészöly mûvészete valóban kapcsolódik Corot és a késõbbi francia plein air festõk mûvészetéhez. Színeiben, hangulatában, a képi értékek megjelenítésében Mészöly képei emlékeztetnek a nagy francia lirikus tájfestõ képeire. Ennek köszönhetõ, hogy a mûkereskedõk amerikai gyûjtõknek Corot nevével szignálva adtak el Mészöly képeket. A legjobban ismert botrányos eset a század elején történt, amikor a Balatoni halásztanya kissé módosított, gyenge másolatát a Modern Art Gallery of Dublin kiállításán eredeti Corot képként mutatták be.

MÉSZÖLY, Géza (1844, Sárbogárd - 1887, Jobbágyi)

Fishermen's Hut at the Lake Balaton 1877 Oil on canvas, 140 x 226 cm Hungarian National Gallery, Budapest

This large canvas, the masterwork of Mészöly, was made in Munich. It was commissioned by Ágost Trefort, Minister of Culture, in 1874 for the Hungarian National Museum.

Art historians often connect Mészöly's name with that of Camille Corot and by the beginning of this century he was labelled "the Hungarian Corot". Indeed, Mészöly's art is related to Corot's and the later French plein air painters. With their mother-of-pearl, hazy colours, the pictorial values of representation and their intimate mood, they are quite reminiscent of the great lyricist among nineteenth-century French landscape painters. No wonder that foreign art dealers sold Mészöly's pictures signed with Corot's name to American collectors. There was even a big scandal - the best known among several - when, in the early 1900s a poor-quality, slightly modified copy of Mészöly's Fishermen's Hut on Lake Balaton was exhibited at the Modern Art Gallery of Dublin as an original Corot.
