Wohl Gyula Benczúr

Wohl Gyula Benczúr was a Hungarian painter, recognized as a master of scenes from the history of his native Hungary.

He studied drawing with the Austrian historical painter Franz Heiling, and from 1861 he studied painting at the Royal Bavarian Academy in Munich. Later in his homeland he took up a professorship at the School of Painting.

Benczúr painted portraits of kings, aristocrats and other contemporaries, but his specialty remained large-scale historical paintings with a play of light and shadow. He also took on ancient and biblical themes, as well as genre-based group paintings of families in nature.
