EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the historic moment of Bela III, the King of Hungary from 1172, founding the Cistercian monastery at Szentgotthard in 1183. Painted by Istvan Dorfmeister between 1795 and 1796, this artwork showcases a significant ceremony that shaped Hungarian history. The painting depicts a gathering of nobleman, monks, and religious figures witnessing the establishment of this sacred institution. In this vibrant illustration, we see Bela III seated on his throne as he gestures towards the building being constructed before him. Surrounding him are men dressed in medieval attire, representing various roles within society - priests, monks, and other important individuals who played a part in this momentous occasion. The artist's attention to detail is evident through his use of color and composition. The vertical format allows for a full view of each character present at the event while emphasizing their respectful demeanor towards their sovereign king. The late 18th-century style adds an air of grandeur to the scene while maintaining historical accuracy. Through this painting, viewers can gain insight into Hungary's rich religious heritage and its connection to Christianity during the 12th century. It serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a valuable historical document that commemorates Bela III's role as founder of one of Hungary's most renowned monasteries.
