The Hunt
Original title: “Poľovačka”
1873 Bôrka–1942 Budapest
About the work
Riders in red coats and a pack of hounds at full gallop through an autumn landscape — the classic fox hunt, the signature theme of the „horse painter“, rendered with the dynamism for which Lengyel-Reinfuss is sought after at auction. The animals' motion and the earth churned by hooves betray a hand trained under Hollósy and Ažbe.
Further details about the work are being added.

About the artist
Ede Lengyel-Reinfuss
1873 Bôrka–1942 Budapest
A painter of horses from Bôrka in the Gemer region — asked as a boy what he would become, he is said to have answered without hesitation: „lófestő“, a horse painter. He trained at the Budapest Mintarajziskola under Bertalan Székely and Ede Balló, continued in Munich with Hollósy and Ažbe and in Paris; from 1897 he exhibited at the Műcsarnok and in 1910–1920 lived and worked in Košice before settling in Budapest for good. Hussars, riders and fox hunts became his lifelong theme — and the Hunt in our collection is its textbook example.
