Biography

Born at Óbecse (today Bečej, Serbia) to his father János Than of Abbot (1789–1858), a royal treasurer, and mother Ottilia Setényi.[1] He attended high school in Kalocsa, in present-day Hungary and then studied philosophy and law in the current-day Budapest. He became a student of painting under Miklós Barabás.

His studies were interrupted, and during the 1848 revolution he became a war painter alongside Arthur Görgei. Later, due to illness, he was not conscripted into the imperial army. As a lawyer, he drew an entire album filled with objects drawn from Hungarian history, and after the conflict, he pursued an artistic career. He traveled to Vienna, where he continued his studies under Austrian painter, Karl Rahl. In 1855, he traveled to Paris and then travelled back to Italy. Eventually he returned home in the early 1860s and opened a studio.[2]

From 1864 he worked alongside Károly Lotz on the murals of the Vigadó of Pest, and from 1875, he created the murals of the stairwell of the Hungarian National Museum together with Lotz.[3][4]

In 1885, he moved to Italy, and then returned to Hungary in 1890, from which, between 1890 and 1896, he became the guardian of the gallery of the National Museum, and, in 1896, he briefly became the director of the National Gallery (before the foundation of the Museum of Fine Arts). He died in Trieste in 1899.[5]


Legacy

He was a Realist painter who worked in the pre-Impressionist style. His subjects were mostly historic events and portraits but also mythological or fantasy themes. He painted frescos which decorate several prominent public buildings in Budapest.

Than also designed the first Hungarian postage stamp, which was supposed to be distributed after the Hungarian Revolution.[6] However, the uprising failed, and the Hungarian State led by Lajos Kossuth collapsed; the printing presses were subsequently destroyed by Austrian authorities.

"حين أسدل المساء أستاره، أضيئت المشاعل، وتقدم اثنان من البرابرة إلى أتيلا وأنشدا أغانٍ ألّفاها، للإشادة بانتصاراته وعظيم أفعاله في الحرب. وحملق المحتفلون في الشعراء، وبعضهم انطرب بالأشعار، وشارك في الغناء، وآخرون انفعلت قلوبهم بذكر الحروب، بينما آخرون انخرطوا في بكاء ونحيب—أولئك الذين وهنت أجسادهم بفعل الزمن وتاقت أرواحهم للراحة.
