Rudolf Négely
Born : 1883Died : 1941Documented citizenships : Hungary
Rudolf Négely’s work is primarily associated with landscape, particularly urban scenes and seascapes or harbour views inspired by Italy and the Adriatic coast. Venice, sailing ships, Mediterranean coastal towns and mountain landscapes are among his recurring subjects; the Italian notice also mentions harbour landscapes in Istria and Dalmatia. The Italian notice states that his seascapes and harbours use the contrast between warm and cool tones; it specifies that his figures are depicted in vivid colours, with energetic palette-knife strokes, the tool being used to distribute the paint abundantly.
Négely studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Dresden. After his studies, he travelled to Italy, where he remained for twenty-eight years, according to the Italian biographical notice. In Naples, the same notice records his contacts with the painters Vincenzo Irolli and Antonio Mancini, as well as his introduction to the «Società degli Artisti», which later became the «Circolo Artistico Politecnico». He returned to Hungary in 1928. From 1907, he exhibited in Hungary and abroad; the locations cited include Zagreb in 1907, followed by Venice and Fiume in 1923. The Italian notice states that he held an exhibition in Budapest in 1930.
