Kortfattat
Andrew W. Mellon (1932) är den målning av Philip de László som drar till sig flest blickar. Därefter dras blicken till Lady Rachel Cavendish, later Viscountess Stuart of Findhorn och Professor Johann Nepomuk Oser (1904). Bland de 216 verk av Philip de László i vår katalog är dessa 100 de mest kända, var och en ett unikt original presenterat med sitt år, sitt museum och anledningen till dess tidlösa betydelse.
In this 1932 bust-length depiction, Philip de László captures the presence of Andrew W. Mellon. The subject is presented in profile, his gaze directed slightly off to the right. A quiet dignity settles over the figure, suggesting a man of significant status and intellect. The composition focuses on the head and shoulders, isolating the sitter against a muted, tan background that offers no distraction from the man himself.
Philip de László rendered this portrait of Lady Rachel Cavendish, later Viscountess Stuart of Findhorn. The sitter, who would eventually become the Viscountess, is presented here in a likeness captured by the Hungarian-born artist during a significant period of transition in her life. The work was executed just before her marriage to James Gray Stuart on 4th August 1923.
In this portrait, Philip de László presents us with Professor Johann Nepomuk Oser, an intellectual figure captured with a quiet, commanding presence. Created about 1904, the work offers a glimpse into the dignified character of a man defined by his scholarly pursuits. The subject is dressed in formal attire, a choice that reflects his status and the professional gravity of his position. There is a certain stillness in his posture…
A heavy silence settles over the canvas. The Archbishop sits in a three-quarter pose, his body angled slightly away while his gaze drifts toward the left of the frame. He is a man of shadows and stark light. The darkness of the background presses inward, forcing the viewer to focus on the pale, steady presence of his face and the pale grip of his hands. It is a study in…
The oil on board painting titled Lt-Col. Risaldar Jagat Singh and Risaidar Man Singh was executed by the artist Philip de László in 1916. This work depicts two Sikh cavalry officers serving within the British Indian Army. The subjects are identified as Jagat Singh of the 12th Cavalry and Man Singh of the 21st Cavalry. The portrait captures the two men in a single sitting that lasted approximately two to…
Three men sit anchored around a wooden table, their silhouettes etched against the dim light of a tavern. The air in the room feels heavy, thick with the scent of spilled spirits and unspoken words. Bottles rest on the scarred surface, catching the pale light like glass eyes watching the quiet drama unfold. A single chair sits empty nearby, a silent witness to a presence that has already departed. The…
In this 1911 oil on canvas, the artist Philip de László turns the gaze inward. Titled Self-Portrait, the work presents a direct encounter with the painter himself, Philip Alexius de László. It is a quiet moment of introspection captured during a period of established professional standing. The subject and the creator are one and the same, offering a rare glimpse into the man behind the formal portraits of the European…
Philip de László captured the likeness of Count Albert Mensdorff-Pouilly-Dietrichstein in this oil on cardboard portrait. The sitter, an Austro-Hungarian diplomat who lived from 1861 to 1945, is presented with the quiet dignity characteristic of the era's high society. Created before 1907, the work reflects the artist's early period of establishing his reputation among the European elite.
Philip de László’s Portrait of Fürstin Dietrichstein zu Nikolsburg, née Princess Olga Dolgouruky presents an oval-shaped bust-length study of the subject. The composition centers on the face and upper shoulders of Princess Olga Dolgouruky, establishing an intimate connection through a direct, eye-level view. She is rendered in regal attire, distinguished by a delicate jeweled tiara that catches the light. The arrangement focuses the viewer's attention on her calm expression and…
The portrait presents an elderly gentleman, captured in a bust-length composition that emphasizes psychological depth. Positioned slightly off-center, the subject gazes toward the viewer's left, creating an intimate, quiet connection. The lighting is dramatic, utilizing a chiaroscuro effect where a strong light source from the upper left defines the facial structure, the texture of the white beard, and the deep wrinkles of age. This illumination contrasts sharply against the dark,…

Philip Alexius de László, född som Fülöp Laub den 30 april 1869 i Budapest, Ungern, steg från enkla förhållanden för att bli en hyllad porträttmålare av det europeiska kungahuset och aristokratin. Hans föräldrar, Adolf och Johanna Laub, var en skräddare respektive en sömmerska av judisk härkomst. Inledningsvis arbetade han som lärling inom fotografi parallellt med sina konstnärliga studier. Han antogs till den nationella konstakademin i Budapest, där han studerade under Bertalan Székely och Károly Lotz. Vidare studier i München och Paris vidgade hans konstnärliga horisonter.
De Lázlós tidiga verk uppvisade ett skarpt öga för detaljer och en framväxande mästerskap inom realismen. Hans influenser omfattade de akademiska traditioner han lärde sig vid akademin, såväl som de rådande trenderna inom porträttkonsten under det sena 1800-talet och det tidiga 1900-talet. Han utmärkte sig snabbt genom sin förmåga att fånga inte bara den fysiska likheten, utan även personligheten och den sociala ställningen hos sina modeller. Ett avgörande ögonblick inträffade år 1900 när hans porträtt av påve Leo XIII belönades med en stor guldmedalj vid världsutställningen i Paris, vilket etablerade hans internationella rykte.
Efter sin framgång i Paris flyttade de László till Wien 1903 och slog sig sedan ner i London 1907, där han stannade resten av sitt liv. Han blev en mycket eftertraktad porträttmålare bland den europeiska eliten. Hans klientel inkluderade monarker, adelsmän, industriledare, vetenskapsmän och framstående personer från olika områden.
År 1900 gifte sig de László med Lucy Madeleine Guinness, en medlem av den framstående bankirfamiljen. De fick sex barn och sjutton barnbarn. Han konverterade till anglikanismen vid sitt äktenskap efter ett tidigare intresse för katolicismen. Trots sitt brittiska medborgarskap och sitt etablerade liv i England, drabbades han av internering under första världskriget (1917–1918) på grund av misstankar kring sina österrikiska kopplingar, en period präglad av betydande svårigheter.
De Lázlós stil kännetecknas av sin realism, noggranna detaljrikedom och levande färgpalett. Han var skicklig på att fånga texturerna i tyger, smycken och hudtoner. Hans porträtt förmedlar ofta en känsla av elegans, sofistikering och social status. Även om han främst är känd för sin porträttkonst, skapade han även landskap och genremåleri.
Philip de Lázlós verk ger värdefulla inblickar i det europeiska högreståndslivets liv och utseende under det sena 1800-talet och det tidiga 1900-talet. Hans porträtt fungerar som historiska dokument som fångar en specifik era och dess sociala dynamik. Trots att han ibland kritiserats för att främst vara en porträttmålare av societeten, är hans tekniska skicklighet och förmåga att fånga karaktär obestridlig. Hans samlade verk omfattar nästan 4 000 verk, inklusive teckningar, och ett katalogiseringsarbete (catalogue raisonné) pågår för närvarande. Han avled den 22 november 1937 i London och lämnade efter sig ett bestående arv som en av sin tids främsta porträttmålare.
