LASZLO (formerly Laub ), PHILIP ALEXIUS DE LOM-BOS (1869–1937), Hungarian painter. Laszlo won many prizes for his work in Budapest and was commissioned to paint the portraits of the royal family in 1894. His work was so successful that he became the leading portraitist of his time. In 1907 he settled in England and painted Edward vii and Queen Alexandra. In 1909 the Uffizi gallery asked him for his self-portrait. In spite of criticism that his pictures failed to come to grips with problems, he remained popular and his work hangs in many important galleries and collections. Laszlo was converted to Christianity.
