St. Stephen, king

Sculpture

unknown artist

third quarter of the 18th century

Idealised image of the Hungarian king, Stephen, with sceptre in his right hand and simplified version of the Hungarian crown, a lush beard, hunched posture, and theatrical hand gesturing, probably made in Styria. He is dressed in luxurious, belted clothing, adorned with buttons, fringes, with a coat and high boots. The sculpture is part of a pair with St. Ladislaus. Probably part of altar items custom-made for Countess Nádasdy from Gornja Lendava in 1776.
