Hungarian Art History and Sitemap

Miklós Ligeti | Impressionist /Realist sculptor

Hungarian art has been both stunted and spurred on by pivotal historical events.

King Stephen’s conversion to Catholicism brought Romanesque and Gothic art and architecture, while the Turkish occupation nipped Hungary’s Renaissance in the bud.

The Habsburgs opened the doors wide to baroque influences. The arts thrived under the Dual Monarchy, through Trianon and even under fascism. Under communism much money was spent on classical music and 'correct' theatre. Under current economic conditions funding for the arts is being slashed.
