"Picnic in May" (Hungarian: "Májusi piknik") is an iconic painting by the Hungarian artist Pál Szinyei Merse, completed in 1873. This work is considered one of the masterpieces of Hungarian art and a seminal piece in the development of modern Hungarian painting. It represents a significant departure from the academic styles that dominated the era, showcasing Szinyei Merse's pioneering use of bright colors and his ability to capture the effects of light and atmosphere, which would later align him with the Impressionist movement.

The painting depicts a leisurely scene of a group of people enjoying a picnic on a sunlit meadow, a subject matter that was quite unconventional for its time. The composition is notable for its vibrant palette, the play of light and shadow, and the sense of immediacy and fleeting moments that it conveys. Szinyei Merse's focus on everyday leisure activities and his impressionistic tendencies were groundbreaking in Hungarian art, and "Picnic in May" is often celebrated for its joyful representation of life and nature.

"Picnic in May" was initially met with criticism by the conservative art establishment of Hungary, as it challenged the traditional narrative and historical subjects that were favored at the time. However, it eventually gained recognition and played a crucial role in the acceptance of plein air painting and impressionistic techniques in Hungarian art. Today, the painting is held in high esteem and is part of the collection of the Hungarian National Gallery in Budapest, where it continues to be admired for its historical significance and its contribution to the evolution of modern art in Hungary.
