Abstract
This research investigates the oil painting Christmas Night Carolers by László Mednyánszky. Upon researching this painting, an extremely similar painting by the same artist was found with the title, Queuing for Bread. Analysis of these two paintings provides the viewer with a better understanding of what was occurring during László Mednyánszky’s life in Hungary during the 1910’s. As well as supporting the argument that the painting Christmas Night Carolers is representative of the resilience of the human spirit despite harsh, difficult environments
