About the Item
This piece depicts two white, long-haired Persian cats in a natural setting. The cats are positioned on a grassy patch adorned with small flowers, including clusters of pink blossoms and delicate white blooms. The background is a dark, undefined space, which contrasts with the illuminated foreground, highlighting the cats' fluffy fur and striking blue eyes. Boleradsky was known for his classically realistic approach, with careful attention to the texture of the fur and the softness of the flowers, creating a serene and detailed composition. The painting is an oil on canvas and comes housed in a beautiful carved wood frame with hanging wire on verso ready to be displayed.
Art measures 23.75 x 31.75 inches
Frame measures 29 x 37 inches
Beno Boleradsky was a renowned Hungarian painter celebrated for his exquisite depictions of animals, particularly the graceful and enigmatic world of cats. Born in 1885 in Gyuró, a small town in western Hungary, Boleradsky displayed an early affinity for the arts, which led him to pursue formal training at the prestigious School of Fine Arts in Budapest. There, he honed his skills under the tutelage of notable mentors, including the Munich Realist painter Tivadar Zemplényi, whose influence imbued Boleradsky's work with a meticulous attention to detail and a profound sense of realism.
Primarily known as a portraitist early in his career, Boleradsky transitioned into a masterful genre and animal painter, with a particular fondness for capturing the playful elegance of Persian and Angora cats. His canvases often portray these felines in serene, naturalistic settings—lounging amid lush grasses, chasing butterflies, or basking in dappled sunlight—infusing everyday moments with a whimsical charm and luminous color palette. Works such as *Two Cats*, *Kätzchen mit Schmetterling* (Kitten with Butterfly), and *Spielende Katze im Gras* (Playing Cat in the Grass) exemplify his signature style: soft, textured brushwork that highlights the animals' expressive eyes and flowing fur, evoking a tender anthropomorphism that resonates with viewers.
Based in Budapest, Boleradsky exhibited his paintings throughout Hungary and Europe, contributing to the vibrant interwar art scene. Though he remained rooted in traditional representational techniques, his subjects bridged the domestic and the poetic, appealing to collectors who appreciated the quiet intimacy of his compositions. Boleradsky's oeuvre, spanning oils on canvas and board, continues to charm the world with his enduring legacy as a "cat painter" par excellence.
Boleradsky passed away in 1957, leaving behind a body of work that celebrates the subtle beauty of the animal kingdom. Today, his paintings grace private collections and galleries worldwide, inviting admirers to pause and ponder the serene wisdom of a cat's gaze.
PROVENANCE: Private Collection Manhattan, New York; Lilac Gallery Collection. The piece will be stamped from Lilac Gallery on its verso.
