5.0 out of 5 stars Re-Discovered - The last of the Court Painters, 15 Mar 2004
By Klaus van Amelrode "kmcva" - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
From 6th-22nd January 2004, a exhibition took place at Christie’s, London. The exhibition was about Philip de László (1869-1937), one of the most successful society portrait painter of European Royalty and aristocracy, took place at. Befitting, the exhibition was opened by The Princess Royal. The exhibition comprised over 90 oil paintings, mostly portraits of many members of the British and European Royal families, politicians and other leading personalities of the day. It is the first retrospective of de László to be staged since his death in 1937.
This is the catalogue accompanying this exhibition, done by Sandra de Laszlo, a granddaughter-in-law of the artist.It contains essays by Gábor Bellák, Christopher Lloyd, Richard Ormond, Christopher Wooand Suzanne Bailey. It illustrates a rich and representative selection of de László' s work and, aided by stunning colour plates,contains biographical as well as art historical information.

Philip de Lászlo, following a meteoric rise from humble origins to recognition in his native Hungary, settled in Britain in 1907 and became the leading portrait-painter in the country – taking over from Sargent. Marrying into the Guiness family, he painted members of almost every royal family in Europe and very many more of the upper crust of society. His pictures hold up a mirror to the Indian summer of the aristocrats of Europe in the Edwardian era, through 1st World War and through to the 1930's. He followed a tradition of catching and enhancing a likeness with due grandeur and majesty. Seeing his pictures names like Titian, Van Dyck, Velázquez and Franz Xaver Winterhalter come into one' s mind. However, as since his era photography has taken over the perfect likeness from painting one has re-introduces this well-known but little studied artist to a wider public. Too often his best-loved portraits hang in ancestral corridors and are rarely coming up for sale.

The catalogue is perfect and is the next best thing for all who missed the exhibition.
