Ervin Bossányi, Oil Painting, Nativity, Germany, around 1930
This painting, executed in oil on wood, was created by the Hungarian artist Ervin Bossányi who lived in Lübeck and Hamburg until his emigration in 1934. He first learned at the academy in Hungary and the Académie Julian in Paris. Bossányi designed among other things, church stained glass windows. Our painting, illustrating the depiction of the Nativity, might be considered as a draft or study, further the flat and translucent painting technique may be an indication for that.



The oil painting is signed lower right ‘Bossányi’ and is in good condition with slight signs of age and wear. The wooden panel shows few minor cracks and imperfections around the edges, mainly due to the material. The panel measures 43 x 57.5 cm. The framed dimensions are 56 x 70 cm. (cru)
