| Tartalmi kivonat: | The Nazarenes represented a 19th century European school of primarily Roman Catholic romantic art taking German and Italian masters as their models. They had a major impact on the European art of the 19th century, a fact that has only been rediscovered recently (exh. Cat. Mainz 2012). Leopold Kupelwieser (1796–1862), professor at the Vienna Academy of Arts, also represented this school. A little known student of his was Alajos (Alois) Unger (Győr 1814-1848), a son of playing-card maker Mátyás Unger the Elder. The Hungarian National Gallery keeps Unger’s oil painting Recapture of Győr (1840) and his family portrait (1843). Recently discovered works include a copy of Cesare da Sesto’s La vierge au bas-relief (date unknown), the portrait of an unknown lady (1836), the Baptism of Vajk (1842) and a Biedermeier picture clock (1847). A further work was St Ladislas, perceiving King Salomon, displayed at the Art Association of Pest in 1846. The present paper will discuss what contribution the Nazarenes and Catholicism made to the creation of national symbols, cults and art, also in Hungary. A special focus will be placed on Unger’s Baptism of Vajk painting, which will also be analysed within a framework of functional semiotics to describe the pictorial language typical of Nazarene works of art (grewe 2009). Finally, the relationship between Nazarene art and the crafts will be investigated. |
