The György Rauscher Archive

Venues

The places that shaped Rauscher’s life and work, each with its specific connection to him. Five meet the threshold for a page at launch. Other locations are folded into the pages where they matter most: the Bicske Pálffy-Daun estate into his last work, Scherl Verlag and the Deutsches Künstlerhaus Brünn into the relevant publication and exhibition pages, and the Hotel Negresco and the Rue de Vaugirard into the Berlin and final-months chapters.

  • /venues/komarom: the painter’s home city from 1903, the Jewish-community and family-business context, and his burial place.
  • /venues/dorog: his birthplace, and home of the Rauscher-díj established in 2002.
  • /venues/beothy-villa: the family’s summer studio on Erzsébet sziget, Komárom, where he worked during holidays.
