Miksa Róth (1865-1944) was a Hungarian glass painter and mosaic maker, renowned as a luminary in the fields of glass painting and mosaic art. He played a pivotal role in the Secession movement, leaving an indelible mark as a reformer, master craftsman, father, and freemason. His vibrant personality and pioneering contributions to applied arts earned him global recognition and acclaim at the turn of the 19th to 20th century.

Róth's artistic legacy extends beyond Hungary, with his works adorning public buildings in countries such as Mexico, The Netherlands, and Norway. He garnered gold and silver medals at World's Fairs, exemplifying his exceptional talent and artistic prowess.

Born in Pest in 1865 into a family with a tradition in glasswork, Róth inherited and continued the family legacy. He embarked on study tours abroad to learn from renowned masters across various countries. By the age of 20, he had established himself as an independent artist, collaborating with prominent figures from diverse artistic disciplines. Recognized as a Royal Court Glass Painter by the Emperor and King, Franz-Joseph, he was entrusted with numerous comissions, much of which thankfully survived the upheavals of history and continues to decorate Budapest's buildings.
