The painter Olgyay Ferenc was born in Jászberény in 1872. He studied in Budapest and Munich after which he settled in Szolnok and was one of the founders of the colony of artists. He painted his landscapes with realistic approach in Szolnok.

His early pictures betray his deep studying of nature. Several of his landscapes show the influence of French impressionists.
