Elek Gyori20th Century oil painting of the Jewish Chassidic community by the synagogue1942
1942
About the Item
Elek Gyori (Hungarian, 1905-1957) was an Eastern European painter, who was notable for his fine paintings of the everyday life in rural Hungary. This beautiful oil painting, portraying the Jewish Chassidic community in Sarospatak, is a particularly good example of Gyori's highly celebrated work. Set in a parcel gilt and ebonised wood frame, the exquisite oil on canvas is signed and dated in the lower right hand corner, 'Gyori Elek / 1942'.
This particular painting is especially touching and important given the date that it was painted, 1942. Indeed, less than two years later the Nazis would take charge of the town of Sarospatak and attempt to eliminate the Jewish community from the area, and all of Hungary. The painting is a poignant reminder of a community life that once was, and is a unique opportunity to collection one of Gyori's most important works.
