Pécs - Csontváry Museum

The large-scale paintings by Tivadar Csontváry Kosztka (1853-1919) are now on permanent exhibition in a beautiful Neo-Renaissance corner-house built in 1894. Csontváry, a chemist by profession, did not begin to paint until he was 41 years of age. His pictures, full of gay color and fabulous forms, show the influence of modern painting styles yet retain a clear individuality all of their own.
