Antal Ligeti remained a faithful follower of Károly Markó the Elder throughout his entire career. Even during the 1870s he painted similarly to his mentor. Just like in Markó's landscapes, the golden rays flooding his pictures evoked Italian reminiscences.

About the Artist

Antal Ligeti

1823 – 1890

Hungarian painter. Ligeti, who worked as a merchant initially, learnt to paint under Károly Markó in Italy in 1845. After returning to Hungary from his trip to Palestina and the Near-East, he was appointed the guard of the Gallery of the Hungarian National Museum. His religious romantic landscapes reflect the impact of Markó and the journeys to the East. His major works: Catalogue of the Pictures in the Hungarian National Museum with Short Biographies (1870), and Mihály Munkácsy's Youth (1891).
