"Szántás" (Ploughing) is a painting by Lajos Zombory, a Hungarian painter known for his contributions to the early 20th-century art scene in Hungary. Zombory, born in 1885, was a significant figure in Hungarian art, particularly noted for his landscapes and genre paintings that often depicted rural life and the Hungarian plains. "Szántás" is one of his works that exemplify his interest in capturing the essence of agrarian life, showcasing the relationship between man, animal, and the land.

The painting "Szántás" is characterized by its realistic portrayal of a peasant ploughing the field with a team of oxen. Zombory's use of earthy tones and attention to the textural details of the soil and the animals' fur reflects his ability to convey the tactile experience of farming. The composition typically emphasizes the vastness of the Hungarian puszta (plains) and the symbiotic connection between the laborer and the natural environment. The horizon is often low, which allows the sky to dominate the canvas, suggesting the openness and the often-overwhelming presence of nature in rural life.

As an artist, Zombory was influenced by the Nagybánya artists' colony, which was the center of Hungarian plein air painting and a hub for artists who sought to capture the light and color of the natural environment. His work, including "Szántás," demonstrates this influence through its use of natural light and shadow to create depth and atmosphere.

"Szántás" is not only a representation of the physical act of ploughing but also an embodiment of the traditional way of life in Hungary at the turn of the century, a theme that was common among Hungarian artists of the period. The painting serves as a historical document of the era's rural customs and practices, as well as a piece of artistic heritage that offers insight into the cultural identity of Hungary.

The painting is considered an important work within Zombory's oeuvre and Hungarian art history. It is appreciated for its aesthetic qualities and its role in documenting and preserving the cultural landscape of Hungary. As with many of Zombory's paintings, "Szántás" is likely to be held in a public collection, such as a national gallery or museum dedicated to Hungarian art, where it can be viewed and studied by the public and scholars interested in the region's artistic traditions.
