Donát Bihari - Public domain portrait painting

Janos Donat, also known as János Donát or Johann Donát, was indeed a prominent Hungarian painter, born in 1744 in Pest, which was part of the Kingdom of Hungary (now Budapest, Hungary). Although he was born into a German-speaking family, he spent most of his life and career in Hungary. Donat is known for his portraits, history paintings and genre scenes, which show his skilful use of light and shadow and his attention to detail. He studied art in Vienna and later travelled extensively, spending time in Italy where he was influenced by Italian art and culture. During his career, Donat received numerous commissions from aristocrats and other wealthy patrons, and he gained recognition for his ability to capture the likeness and character of his subjects. He was also known for his depictions of Hungarian landscapes and everyday life. Janos Donat died in 1830, leaving a legacy as one of Hungary's most respected painters of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. His works can be found in museums and collections throughout Hungary and Europe, testifying to his contribution to Hungarian art history.
