BARTÉK, Eduard Born 1852, died 1883 Budapest Hungary. Pupil of Engleder. Also worked with Nemessanyi until 1872, subsequently established independently. Employed A. Bergmann, M. Remenyi and K.

Willibald Leo Lütgendorff+

Erst Schüler von Al. Engleder, arbeitete er später bei G. Nemessanyi,
Thomas Zach und Gabriel Lembock und erlangte bei grosser Begabung hier
eine allseitige künstlerische Ausbildung. Kaum zwanzig Jahre alt, eröffnete er
in Budapest seine eigene Werkstatt und erhielt 1878 auf der Pariser Ausstellung
für nach Stradivari und Guarneri gebaute Geigen einen ersten Preis. Da er
sehr arm war, musste er sein Leben hauptsächlich mit Flickarbeiten fristen,
weshalb es nur wenige Geigen von ihm giebt, die wenigen aber sind durchweg
Meisterwerke. Sein früher Tod war ein Verlust für Ungarn.
