Exhibition of works by Jozsef Rippl-Ronai opens in Zagreb

The Croatian Culture Minister, Nina Obuljen Korzinek, and the Hungarian Human Resources Minister, Zoltan Balog, opened the exhibition.

Organised in cooperation with the Rippl-Ronai Museum in Kaposvar, the painter’s hometown in Hungary, includes over 70 oil and pastel paintings.

Jozsef Rippl-Ronai, born in 1861, is best known for having introduced modern artistic movements to Hungarian art. One of his main influences, from his time in Paris, was the French post-Impressionist painter Paul Gaugin.

The exhibition will run through to 13 May in the gallery housed in the Revival-style Vranyczany Palace in the centre of the Croatian capital.
