Sándor Petőfi 1823 -1849

Sándor Petőfi

Sándor Petőfi the hungarian artist became imortal in his short life as gifted writer and enthusiastic revolutionary in those days of March 1848. It was him who proclaimed the famous Nemzeti dal, the later hungarian national anthem. His writings represent a traditional,popular and national attitude. His language could be understood by average man and expressed the feelings and thoughts of the simple people. He was lost in the fights against the Habsburg regime and his body was never found. Jeno Bory was comissioned for the scultpure,a Turul bird with a harp,which was given to the public in 1911.
