László Mednyánszky  (1852–1919)
A Slovak-Hungarian painter-philosopher, is one of the most enigmatic figures in the history of Hungarian art. Despite an aristocratic background, he spent most of his life moving around Europe working as an artist.
Mednyánszky spent considerable periods in seclusion but mingled with people across society in the aristocracy, art world, peasantry and army – many of whom became the subjects of his paintings.
His most important works depict scenes of nature and poor, working people, particularly from his home region in Kingdom of Hungary. He is also known as a painter of folklore of Upper Hungary (today mostly Slovakia)

She was born Minka Czóbel Balogfalvi in ​​1855, in Anarcs, Hungary, to a large landowner family.
Tumblr media
She began writing with the encouragement of the painter László Mednyánszky, who recommended her first works to Mór Jókai for comment. Since she received extremely favorable reviews, her first book of poems, Nyírfa Lombok, was published in 1890. She was one of the first to write free verse in Hungary and adopted the style of the French decadents. Endre Ady could never forgive the fact that a woman preceded him in his style, so he commented on her in a petty and disparaging way: "I don't understand her works and I can't be enthusiastic about them".
Western society also reluctantly accepted her poems, they found it difficult to identify with an exceptionally talented female poet.
Minka Czóbel was also considered a language genius; she spoke French, English and German at a native level. Many translations are associated with her name; she was the first to translate Verlaine's poems into Hungarian, as well as The Tragedy of Man and several of Petőfi's poems into German, just to name a few.
Adapted and translated from:
