In 1896, an artists' colony was established in hilly eastern Hungary at Nagybánya (now Baia Mare in Rumania). The Nagybánya painters grouped about the initiator of the colony, Simon Hollósy. They worked in a variety of styles, from an almost transcendent realism à la Bastien-Lepage to a Symbolist form of Art Nouveau, although always retaining an overriding interest in the homeland and its people.
