He was baptized on 14 June in the Reformed Church on K\u00e1lvin t\u00e9r. His father, Bal\u00e1zs P\u00e9czeli, came from Nagyk\u0151r\u00f6s and was a machinist, his mother was Jol\u00e1n Majsai. After attending primary and secondary school, he continued his education for four years from 1905 at the State Primary School Teachers' College in Budapest. He then studied at the Budapest Academy of Fine Arts under Alad\u00e1r Edvi Ill\u00e9s and Imre R\u00e9v\u00e9sz from 1909 to 1913. He initially worked as a drawing teacher in Budapest, but began painting in the 1910s and illustrated books on request. On January 20, 1917, he married Vilma Gizella V\u00e1s\u00e1rhelyi, a private office worker, in Budapest.\n\nFrom 1924 he devoted himself intensively to painting. In the 1930s, he worked alongside Imre R\u00e9v\u00e9sz at the artists' colony in Kecskem\u00e9t. He had previously been involved in the founding of the artists' colony in Gyula and took part in its first exhibition in 1928, where he showed several works together with seven other artists. His works were regularly exhibited at the Palace of Art (M\u0171csarnok) and the National Salon. Some of his works can be found in the Pushkin Museum in Moscow and the Lviv Museum. He was also present internationally, with exhibitions in Nuremberg, Stockholm and Amsterdam. His last exhibition in Budapest took place in 1946. He particularly enjoyed painting scenes from village and inn life as well as church and room interiors. The majority of his works reached foreign countries during his lifetime via various trade routes, particularly the United States. He was also commissioned to paint oriental-inspired works. In the 1930s and 1940s, he lived with his family at 68 Frankel Le\u00f3 Street (then Zsigmond kir\u00e1ly \u00fat) in \u00d3buda.\n\nHis death was caused by coronary thrombosis, gallstones and influenza. His son, the equally talented painter Antal P\u00e9czely Jr. was probably taken prisoner of war by the Soviets after the Second World War.","link":"https:\/\/collection.galerie-gerdes.com\/en\/c\/artist-en-2\/antal-anton-peczely-en\/","name":"Antal Anton Pe\u0301czely","slug":"antal-anton-peczely-en","taxonomy":"product_cat","parent":1857,"meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/collection.galerie-gerdes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat\/14503","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/collection.galerie-gerdes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/collection.galerie-gerdes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/taxonomies\/product_cat"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/collection.galerie-gerdes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat\/1857"}],"wp:post_type":[{"href":"https:\/\/collection.galerie-gerdes.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product?product_cat=14503"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
