EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the enchanting image of Hungarian actor, Balazs Szokolay, brilliantly portraying Baron Balint Balassi de Kekko et Gyarmat, a renowned Hungarian Renaissance lyric poet. Dressed in traditional Hungarian attire, Szokolay embodies the elegance and sophistication of the era. The poet, known as the founder of modern Hungarian lyric and erotic poetry, is depicted holding a violin, adding to the romantic and artistic atmosphere of the scene. The intricately designed costume features a fur-trimmed hat adorned with red silk and a sash, symbolizing the noble status of the Baron. The fur trim, a common element in Hungarian traditional clothing, adds a touch of luxury and warmth to the outfit. The poet's attire is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Hungary during the Renaissance period. Balassi Balint, born in 1554 and passing away in 1594, was a prolific writer whose works continue to inspire Hungarian literature. His poetry, filled with passion and sensuality, broke new ground in Hungarian literature and paved the way for future generations of Hungarian writers. This photograph, taken in 1904, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us to a time of artistic expression and cultural flourishing in Hungary. The image of Balazs Szokolay as Balint Balassi de Kekko et Gyarmat is a beautiful reminder of Hungary's rich literary and artistic history.
