Philip Alexius de Laszlo (1869-1937) was one of the most important
portraitists of the early 20th century. Born in Hungary, he was
trained in Munich and Paris and was soon receiving commissions from
noble and royal families throughout Europe. Having married Lucy
Guinness in 1900, in 1907 he moved from Vienna to England, where he
had enormous success. Far less known are the wonderful portraits de
Laszlo painted in the Netherlands over more than 30 years. By 1900
de Laszlo was renowned in the highest circles and his reputation
inevitably reached the land of Rembrandt. De Laszszlo became very
popular with Holland's cosmopolitan aristocratic and
entrepreneurial families.Over the years, members of the Loudon and
Deterding families, Cremer and Count Schimmelpenninck all sat to
him. The portraits have remained in the families' private
collections, and are here published for the first time.The book
accompanies an exhibition of de Laszlo's Dutch portraits in the Van
Loon house in the heart of Amsterdam, built in 1672, which was
opened as a museum in 1973. It is a complete catalogue of de
Laszlo's Dutch oeuvre as it is known today."
