Hungarian Paintings by Mária Szánthó and Laszlo Neogrady Come to Auction

The upcoming Willow Auction House sale features the extensive fine art collection of Steve and Pauline Balogh. Over several decades, the couple built up their collection of European art with a particular focus on Hungarian artists whose works stand out in the auction catalog. Bidders can consider a semi-nude portrait by Mária Szánthó, a titan of 20^th-century Hungarian art. The subject wears flowing aqua and violet silks as she looks off to one side. Laszlo Neogrady is another Hungarian painter with work available. He was best known for his sweeping, atmospheric landscapes. In one offered painting by Neogrady, pink-tinted mountain peaks crest above a wintery scene. 

Beyond Hungarian art, this auction includes a 19^th-century painting by German artist Wilhelm Beckmann. The Surrender of the City of Rosenberg in the Hussite War chronicles the 15^th-century conflict between Christian Hussites and Catholics in Central Europe. Beckmann’s painting shows a crowd gathered near a rocky outcrop. The populace leaves their shelter under the watchful eye of an armored soldier. Collectors can also find paintings by Darío de Regoyos and Antonio Rotta. Find the complete catalog and place a bid on Hibid.
