Gyula Benczúr - Reading Woman in the Forest

Gyula Benczúr (Hungarian, 1844-1920) - Reading Woman in the Forest, 1875. (Oil on canvas. Magyar Nemzeti Galéria) - - Benczúr, a master of great interiors, leads us outside to the woman reading a book. This picture proves that its master shared the love of nature of the Barbizon painters. This charming idyll in the forest inspires thoughts of melancholy and nostalgia.
