Description: Title: Louis Szanto Original Lithograph - 1700's Gentlemen with Rousseau and Lady (1934) - Framed Description:Presenting a magnificent original lithograph by the acclaimed Hungarian-born artist Louis Szanto, created in 1934. This captivating artwork features two distinguished 1700's gentlemen, with one believed to be the renowned philosopher Jean-Jacques Rousseau, accompanied by an enchanting lady. Szanto's talent shines through in this exquisite portrayal of historical figures, offering a glimpse into a bygone era. Louis (Lajos) Szanto, a painter and etcher of great repute, began his artistic journey with formal training in Vienna and Budapest before World War One. During the war, he served with the Austrian Army from 1914 to 1918. Following the war, Szanto's work garnered international recognition. He explored the Baltic States, Italy, France, and Holland, refining his craft and gaining acclaim for his paintings and etchings. His art graced the walls of major centers, including New York and Chicago, solidifying his status as a masterful artist. In the early 1930s, during the height of the Great Depression, Szanto made his way to the United States. There, he contributed to art projects commissioned by the Works Progress Administration (W.P.A.), a government program supporting artists during challenging economic times (1935-1943). Throughout this period, Szanto produced numerous American views and collaborated with artist Andrew Karoly, leaving an enduring mark on American culture. This original lithograph, created in 1934, is a testament to Szanto's talent and his ability to transport viewers to a different time and place. The lithograph is beautifully framed, with the frame measuring 8.5 x 10.5 inches and the artwork itself approximately 5 x 7 inches.
