Excerpt: Baron Laszlo Mednyanszky (23 April 1852 - 17 April 1919), or Ladislaus Josephus Balthasar Eustachius Mednyanszky was a Hungarian painter in the Impressionist tradition. Despite an aristocratic background, he spent most of his life moving around Europe working as an artist. Mednyanszky spent considerable periods in seclusion but mingled with people across society - in the aristocracy, art world, peasantry and army - many of whom became the subjects of his paintings. His most important works depict scenes of nature and poor, working people, particularly from his home region in Upper Hungary. The gravestone of Laszlo Mednyanszky in the Kerepesi Cemetery, Budapest.Mednyanszky was born in Becko, the Kingdom of Hungary (now Beckov in Slovakia), to Eduard Mednyanszky and Maria Anna Mednyanszky, (nee Szirmay) both from landowning families. Mednyanszky's family moved in 1861 to the chateau of his grandfather, Baltazar Szirmay, at Nagyr (Straky), near Szepesbela (Spiska Bela) in north-eastern Hungary. This was to be the setting for many of his works. Mednyanszky met the Austrian artist Thomas Ender in 1863 when Ender visited the chateau at Nagyr. Ender took an interest in Mednyanszky's early efforts at drawing, lending his assistance to improve Mednyanszky's skills. Mednyanszky attended a grammar school in Kesmark (Kemarok), near his home, then attended the Akademie der Bildenden Kunste (Academy of Fine Arts) in Munich in 18721873.
