Mária Szánthó was a Hungarian painter. She initially studied music and obtained a diploma in piano from the Budapest Academy of Music before turning her attention to painting in the 1920s. She studied under, amongst others,
Géza Kukán, Bertalan Karlovszky and Pál Fried, and undertook study trips to Italy and France. A leading figure in Hungarian naturalism, she is best known for her portraits, nudes and genre scenes, often characterised by an elegant and intimate atmosphere. She exhibited regularly in Hungary, particularly in Budapest, and her work was also shown internationally, notably in Japan and the United States.
