Mr. Feszty was born in the town of Ógyalla (then Hungary, now Slovakia). He mostly painted scenes from Hungarian history and religion.

He studied in Munich from 1874, and later (1880-81) in Vienna. After returning home to Hungary, he was made famous by his two works entitled Golgota and Bányaszerencsétlenség (Accident in a quarry). He painted his well-kniown monumental picture depicting the Magyar conquest of Hungary in 1896 for the 1000th anniversary of the Conquest, with the help of many others, including Adolf Barcsay, Dániel Mihalik and László Mednyánszky. It was seriously damaged during World War II (the painting, some 1800 m² in size, was cut up into 8-metre-long pieces, which were rolled up and stored in various museum warehouses). It wasn't until 1995 that it was restored and exhibited at the Ópusztaszer National Memorial Site in Hungary.
