A Brush With Grandeur: Philip Alexius de Laszlo (1869-1937)

This book, accompanying the first retrospective exhibition of de Laszlo since his death, illustrates a rich and representative selection of his work, drawn from a range of private collections, and re-introduces this well-known but little studied artist to a wider public. Its distinguished contributors include Christopher Lloyd, Surveyor of the Queen’s Pictures; Gábor Bellák, curator of nineteenth-century paintings and drawings at the Hungarian National Gallery; Richard Ormond, formerly director of the National Maritime Museum; and Christopher Wood, well known for his books on nineteenth-century art. The catalogue entries, by Sandra de Laszlo, contain fascinating biographical as well as art historical information.
