Philip de Laszlo, following a meteoric rise 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 its Who s Who. This book, the previous edition of which accompanied the first retrospective exhibition of de Laszlo since his death in 1937, illustrates a rich and representative selection of his work, drawn from a range of private collections, and, aided by stunning color plates, reintroduces this well-known but little studied artist to a wider public."
