| Benczúr, Gyula (Julius) (Nyíregyháza, 28 January 1844 - Dolány, 16 July 1920) – Painter, one of the outstanding Hungarian painters of the 19th century. His painting The Farewell of László Hunyadi (Hunyadi László búcsúja) (1866) made him known in Pest. A study trip to Italy made a deep impression on him and his paintings well reflect this. The Baptism of Vajk (Vajk megkeresztelése) (1876) (later King István I, St. István/St. Stephen) reflects a great Baroque sumptuosity. Between 1876 and 1883 he was one of the professors at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich, Germany. Following his return to Hungary he worked as Principal of a Master School until his death. He bought the Pejacsevics mansion in Dolány and was using it as his studio during the summer. For the Millennium celebrations in 1896, he created another famous painting called The Conquest of Buda (Buda elfoglalása). Some of his other paintings are The Arrest of Ferenc Rákóczi II (II Rákóczi Ferenc elfogatása), the portraits of Emperor Franz Joseph I, Count István Tisza, Ágoston Trefort, as well as mythological scenes, such as Perseus and Andromeda, and Doves of Venus. He was a member of the Upper House of Parliament. After his death the town of Dolány took on his name; and ever since it has been called Benczúrfalva. – B: 0883, 0934, T: 7653.
