Mednyánszky László (1852-1919) went to Szeged right away and took part in the works to defend the town when he heard of the flood in March 1879. The excellent painter helped the people in trouble without a hesitation. One of the most popular artist and the town meets again: a Mednyánszky exhibition opens on 27 January. 28 works, 20 oil paintings and 8 graphics from the collection of the Slovakian National Gallery will be shown.
