'''Philip Alexius László de Lombos''' {{postnominals|country=GBR|MVO|RBA}} (born '''Fülöp Laub''';  {{langx|hu|László Fülöp Elek }}; 30 April 1869 – 22 November 1937),<ref>{{cite web|url=http://delaszloarchivetrust.com/index.php?cid=8&PHPSESSID=ce76a116336047d8ffcbdf82af5de54d|title=The de Laszlo Archive Trust|work=delaszloarchivetrust.com}}</ref> known professionally as '''Philip de László''', was an Anglo-Hungarian painter known particularly for his portraits of royal and aristocratic personages. In 1900, he married the [[Anglo-Irish]] socialite [[Lucy Guinness]], and he became a British subject in 1914.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://oxfordindex.oup.com/view/10.1093/benz/9780199773787.article.B00104969?rskey=xto98H&result=5|title=LASZLO DE LOMBOS, Philip Alexius de (1869 – 1937), Painter : Benezit Dictionary of Artists – oi|website=oxfordindex.oup.com|year=2011|doi=10.1093/benz/9780199773787.article.b00104969}}</ref> László's patrons awarded him numerous honours and medals. He was invested with the [[Royal Victorian Order]] by [[Edward VII]] in 1909 and, in 1912, he was ennobled by [[Franz Joseph I of Austria]]; becoming a part of the [[Hungarian nobility]].

==Early life==
László was born in seemingly humble circumstances in [[Pest, Hungary|Pest]] as Fülöp Laub, the eldest son of Adolf and Johanna Laub, a tailor and seamstress of Jewish origin.<ref>{{cite ODNB|url=http://oxfordindex.oup.com/view/10.1093/ref:odnb/34414?rskey=xto98H&result=6|title=Laszlo, Philip Alexius de [formerly Fülöp Elek László; Philip Alexius Laszlo de Lombos] (1869–1937), painter : Oxford Dictionary of National Biography – oi|year=2004|doi=10.1093/ref:odnb/34414|last1=Gibson|first1=Robin}}</ref> Fülöp and his younger brother Marczi changed their surname to László in 1891.

He was apprenticed at an early age to a photographer while studying art, eventually earning a place at the National Academy of Art, where he studied under [[Bertalan Székely]] and [[Károly Lotz]]. He followed this with studies in Munich and Paris. László's portrait of [[Pope Leo XIII]] earned him a Grand Gold Medal at the [[Exposition Universelle (1900)|Paris International Exhibition]] in 1900. In 1903, László moved from Budapest to [[Vienna]]. In 1907, he moved to England and remained based in London for the remainder of his life, although endlessly travelling the world to fulfil commissions.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.kingsgalleries.com/cgi-sys/suspendedpage.cgi|title=Account Suspended|website=kingsgalleries.com|access-date=8 April 2019|archive-date=5 April 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190405090956/http://www.kingsgalleries.com/cgi-sys/suspendedpage.cgi|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.weeklystandard.com/philip-terzian/the-portraits-of-philip-de-laszlo|title=The Portraits of Philip de Laszlo|date=14 October 2010|website=The Weekly Standard|access-date=8 April 2019|archive-date=16 December 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181216213302/https://www.weeklystandard.com/philip-terzian/the-portraits-of-philip-de-laszlo|url-status=dead}}</ref>

==Personal life==
[[File:Philip Alexius de László de Lombos - Mrs. Lucy de László - Reg. 855 - Dublin City Gallery The Hugh Lane.jpg|thumb|Portrait by Philip de László of his wife, Lucy]]
In 1900, László married [[Lucy Madeleine Guinness]], a member of the banking branch of the [[Guinness family]] and a sister of [[Henry Guinness]]. They had first met in Munich in 1892, but for some years had been forbidden to see each other. The couple had six children and 17 grandchildren.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.delaszloarchivetrust.com/images/image/lucy-philip-boys.jpg|title=Photograph of László with his wife and sons|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070927174643/http://www.delaszloarchivetrust.com/images/image/lucy-philip-boys.jpg|archive-date=27 September 2007}}</ref>

László became interested in [[Catholicism]] as a young man, probably through his friendship with the Valentins, an elderly Bavarian couple.<ref>{{cite book |last=Hart-Davis|first=Duff|author-link=Duff Hart-Davis|date=2010|title=Philip de László: His Life and Art|publisher=Yale University Press|page=26|isbn=9780300137163}}</ref> He was baptised into the Catholic Church in 1894 ... "he never worshipped regularly but read the Bible and was a firm believer in God and the Christian story".<ref>Hart-Davis (2010), p. 34.</ref> His faith was especially strengthened by his visit to the Vatican in 1900, where he met and painted the aging [[Pope Leo XIII]].<ref>Hart-Davis (2010), pp. 66–67.</ref> László converted to [[Anglicanism]] upon his marriage, and his children were raised as Protestants.<ref>Hart-Davis (2010), p. 71.</ref> At a lecture to the [[Fisher Society]] in 1934, he said "I believe that to worship nature is a religious duty. I see in nature the fullest revelation of the Divinity, and my faith is that only by acceptance of this revelation and by striving to realise it in all its perfection can I prove my worship to be sincere".<ref>Hart-Davis (2010), p. 235.</ref>

==Later life==

László's patrons awarded him numerous honours and medals. In July 1909, he was appointed Member of the [[Royal Victorian Order]] (MVO) by [[Edward VII]].<ref>{{cite web |title=Issue 28271 |url=https://www.thegazette.co.uk/London/issue/28271/data.pdf |website=[[The London Gazette]] |access-date=19 March 2024 |page=5 |date=16 July 1909}}</ref> In 1912, he was ennobled by King [[Franz Joseph I of Austria|Franz Joseph of Hungary]]; his surname then became "László de Lombos", but he soon was using the name "de László".<ref>{{cite web | url=https://farmleigh.ie/portrait-of-lucy-de-laszlo-by-her-husband-the-artist-philip-de-laszlo/ | title=Portrait of Lucy de László by her husband the artist Philip de László &#124; Farmleigh House and Estate }}</ref>

Despite his British citizenship, his marriage and five British citizen sons, de László was interned for over twelve months in 1917 and 1918 during the [[First World War]], accused of making contact with the enemy (he had written letters to family members in Austria). He was released on grounds of ill health, and exonerated in June 1919.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.jssgallery.org/Other_Artists/Philip_Alexius_de_Laszlo/Emperor_of_Germany.htm#Guardian|title=Parlour games|work=The Guardian|location=London|date=20 December 2003|access-date=15 August 2007}} The article states that "László had not only painted the Austrian foreign secretary, Count Berchtold, regarded by many as responsible for the war; he had also been ennobled by Emperor Franz Josef in 1912. After warnings, he was arrested in the summer of 1917 and accused of making contact with the enemy by sending letters to his mother and brother. He was locked up in Brixton prison and Holloway internment camp as an enemy alien. He didn't sympathise with the enemy: the range of his sitters reveals his even-handedness. He was released due to ill-health, but was not vindicated until the summer of 1919. He had been unable to paint anyone outside his own family for two years."</ref>

De László suffered heart problems for the last years of his life. In October 1937, he had a heart attack and died a month later at his home, [[Hyme House]], in [[Fitzjohns Avenue]], [[Hampstead]], London.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://jssgallery.org/other_artists/Philip_Alexius_de_Laszlo/Articles/The_Studio_Vol_XXXI_No_124_June_1907.htm|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161014194341/http://www.jssgallery.org/other_artists/philip_alexius_de_laszlo/Articles/The_Studio_Vol_XXXI_No_124_June_1907.htm|url-status=dead|title=jssgallery.org|archive-date=14 October 2016}}</ref> His work was part of the [[Art competitions at the 1932 Summer Olympics#Painting|painting event]] in the [[Art competitions at the 1932 Summer Olympics|art competition]] at the [[1932 Summer Olympics]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.olympedia.org/athletes/920463 |title=Philip de László |work=Olympedia |access-date=4 August 2020}}</ref>

In 1939, ''Portrait of a Painter. The Authorized Life of Philip de László'' by [[Owen Rutter]], written in conjunction with de László, was published.
