St. Ladislaus

Sculpture

unknown artist

third quarter of the 18th century

Idealised image of Hungarian king, Ladislaus, in luxurious clothing with sceptre in his right hand and a simplified version of the Hungarian crown. Part of a pair with the sculpture of Saint Stephen. Sentimentality is emphasised with his left hand above his heart, his tilted head, and the look in his eyes. At that time, numerous churches and chapels in castles were filled with art that revived the cult of the Hungarian dynastic saints.
