Spiš Landscape in Winter

Ladislav Mednyánszky was the most iconic Impressionist working on Slovak territory. He lived for some time in Strážky mansion, within sight of the High Tatras and visually explored the surrounding countryside, especially the bends in the Poprad River nearby.

The melancholic qualities of this place were well-suited suited to his solitary character; he could wander for hours and study the changeability of nature, then bring it to life through hundreds of subtle brush strokes and color hues. Mednyánszky's intimate landscapes in lyrical realist style reflected each of his particular moods and feelings.
