Baroque Symmetry Photo

Photographer’s Note

This huge Baroque building, erected on the site of two Medieval residential houses, significantly determines the look of the square. It was built between 1731 and 1741 as a bishop's palace.
The building became a convent for the female order Congregatio Jesu (vernacular: English Ladies, Angolkisasszonyok) and, later still, it served a military purpose. In 1802 it became home for the first national institute for the deaf and mute. In the 19th century the building was expanded several times and its facade was remodelled in 1902.

Vác

One of the most attractive Hungarian Baroque cities boasts a past dating back to the Bronze Age. It has been a centre of Catholic faith and a diocesan town for centuries.
The foundation of the diocese of Vác is unanimously attributed by historians to the first Hungarian king, St Stephen I. The completion of the bishop's cathedral is also associated with Géza I and, according to this monarch's wishes he was burried here. The interior decoration of the cathedral dates from the time of King St Ladislaus (László). The cathedral stands next to the bishop's palace together with the canon homes and a military barrack on what is today called King Géza Square (Géza király tér). The historic central area of Vác developed in the early 18th century when the once segregated German and Hungarian districts began to merge with one another while maintaining the original medieval town plan. Today the city is the cultural and commercial centre of the left bank of the Danube bend and the most visited tourist destination.

Szia George,
The light looks a bit adverse on this image, but I like how symetric and exact your framing is, and there are very nice architectural details to enjoy here, I like these eyes on the roof a lot.
Have a nice day JY

George, very interesting shot, what are the two brown sections of the main building either side of the door? The colors are awesome and the not speaks to a veried history of use that makes it even mor compelling. Great capture.

Hello George,

Three different row windows this is very lovely in the same front.
Also the four windows in the roof make this picture very nice, we call this in Belgium "roof eyes"
Nice architecture picture, good of quality and presentation.
Very well done, TFS.

Best regards,
John.

Good symmetry in the composition and I notice the fine details in the architecture!
The fine light renders great colours with good textures in walls and roof...
The monument in front creates depth in the composition!

Gyuri, szép ez a városka és ehhez tökéletesen passzol a kedvesen egyszerű szimmetrikus szerkesztés. Mindig csodálom, hogy milyen éles képeket készítesz. Most is. A finom arányokat jól kiegészíti az a nagyon kellemes lazacrózsaszín árnyalat, amiről azonnal a barokkra asszociálok. Külön szép nekem, ahogy a tető ablakszemeit is belekomponáltad a képbe, ezzel is a szoborra irányítod a figyelmünket. Tényleg, a szoborról is olyan jó lenne valamit olvasni! Köszönöm, hogy feltetted a TE-re.
