Ferenc Hatvany

Ferenc Hatvany

Baron Ferenc Hatvany (1881, Budapest - 1958, Lausanne) was a member of the prominent Hungarian Hatvany-Deutsch family. He was a painter, a graduate of the Académie Julien in Paris and an art collector. His collection [http://www.freeweb.hu/dialog2000/8.html] included paintings from Tintoretto, Cézanne, Renoir, Ingres and Courbet, most notably "L'Origine du monde" and "Femme nue couchée".

Towards the end of the Second World War his paintings were looted by Soviet troops but some were ransomed by Hatvany. In 1947 he emigrated to Paris. [ [http://www.artnewsonline.com/issues/article.asp?art_id=2442 ARTNews; The Mysterious Journey of an Erotic Masterpiece] ] In 1955 "L’Origine du monde" was sold at auction for 1.5 million francs.

Paintings that were looted from Hatvany's collection are still hanging on museum walls in Budapest, Moscow, and Nizhny Novgorod.
