Béla Iványi Grünwald, another significant master of the Nagybánya colony, worked in the town between 1896 and 1909. A major piece born during the artist's impressionistic period was Outing in Spring, painted in 1903.
The spring sun and air transforms the elements of the landscape into soft, vibrating zones. The figures painted with faint contours also become impersonal - dissolved in the complexity of the image, they merely constitute a part of nature. By attempting nothing more than the capturing of a fleeting moment and a vanishing mood, of all the artists of Nagybánya, Iványi came closest to the ideas of the French Impressionists.
