Mór Than (Hungarian: [ˈtɒn ˈmoːr]; 19 June 1828 – 11 March 1899) was a Hungarian painter.

Biography[]

Born at Óbecse (today Bečej, Serbia), Than was educated in Italy and Vienna beside his cooperation with similar famous painters in his homeland. He worked in a realistic – pre-impressionist style. His subjects were mostly historic events and portraits but also mythological or fantasy themes. He painted frescos which decorate several prominent public buildings in Budapest.

Than also designed the first Hungarian postage stamp, which was supposed to be distributed after the Hungarian Revolution of 1848.^[1] However, the uprising failed, and Hungarian State collapsed; the printing presses were subsequently destroyed by Austrian authorities. Than died in Trieszt in 1899.
