1892-1925 Private, 009-0006

Sender: Lázár, Doctor Béla (1869 - 1950)

Recipient: László, Philip Alexius de (1869 - 1937)

Letter concerning the controversy surrounding the authenticity of a Corot painting that the then Prince of Wales (subsequently George V) had chosen from the Forbes collection and presented as a gift to help Hugh Lane in his attempt to establish a gallery of modern art in Dublin. Following its exhibition in 1904, the "early Corot" was deemed by some to be the work of the Hungarian artist, Géza Mészöly. In this letter, Lázár writes that his expert opinion on the picture has been sought, and that he will travel to Dublin to view the picture. He asks de László to accompany him: "I ask for your help in this. You would greatly oblige me if you would come with me on Monday morning to the gallery in Dublin to have a look at the picture". Lázár was ultimately of the opinion that the painting was neither a Corot nor a Mészöly, but a touched-up copy of a Mészöly painting in the Hungarian National Gallery’s collection
