Ladislav Medňanský (also Mednyánszky, 1852 Beckov – 1919 Vienna) – one of the greatest painters who were born and lived in Slovakia. He belongs to the main representatives of Central European painting of the second half of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th centuries, and is one of the few artists who responded directly to the new streams in painting. Ladislav Medňanský studied at the Academy in Munich and at École des Beaux-Arts in Paris. After finishing his studies, he hired a studio at Montmarte. He lived alternately in Strážky, Beckov, Paris, Vienna and Budapest. (excerpt from Slovakia Postal Philatelic Service- POFIS)
