Túry family
This grave impressed me by the quite and meditative atmospere and the
special lighting in this very moment,when the sunshine fell through the
dark foliage of the surrounding trees.

Dezső Baron Bánffy de Losoncz (1843-1911)
Dezső Baron Bánffy was a politician. He was Prime Minister of Hungary
from 1895 to 1899 until his cabinet was outlawed and he was deposed.
Bánffy was considered a brutal prime minister, especially his harsh
reactions on the upcoming socialist movement and the strike of rural
workers contributed to his fall. The figure on the tomb embraces the
hungarian flag, probably a symbol for his nationalist attitude. The
sculpture was designed by KALLÓS Ede.
