KOVÁCS, Mihály
(1818, Abádszalók - 1892, Budapest)

 Painter. After years of study in Pest, Vienna and Rome, he painted a lot of altar pictures in dry academic style under the influence of the Italian Renaissance (Roman Catholic church in Sajószentpéter), historic pictures ("Árpád is Raised on the Shield") and portraits ("The Orczy Family", "Pál Szemere", etc.). He also copied pictures by Italian, Spanish and Dutch masters.
