László Paál

László Paál (30 July 1846, Zám, Transylvania, Austrian Empire - 4 March 1879, Charenton-le-Pont, France) was a Hungarian Impressionist landscape painter.

In 1870, he and Eugen Jettel took a study trip to the Netherlands[2] and, later that same year, he entered the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf on the recommendation of his boyhood friend, Mihály Munkácsy.

This was followed by an invitation to London, made by a major art dealer there, and his discovery of the works of John Constable.

[1] After 1873, he married and lived at the Barbizon art colony,[2] was a regular participant in the Salon and won a medal at the Exposition Universelle (1878).

By this time, his health had noticeably deteriorated (possibly from tuberculosis) and he suffered an accident at home, which resulted in a serious brain injury.
