Art Nouveau in Hungary Photo

Photographer’s Note

Hungarian Art Nouveau (or Secession, the more known naming in Austria and Hungary) is based on the national architectural characteristics. Taking the eastern origins of the Hungarians into account, Ödön Lechner (1845–1914), the most important figure in Hungarian Art Nouveau, was initially inspired by Indian and Syrian architecture, and later by traditional Hungarian decorative designs. In this way, he created an original synthesis of architectural styles. By applying them to three-dimensional architectural elements, he produced a version of Art Nouveau that was specific to Hungary.

The town hall of Kiskunfélegyháza (click on map function) was built in 1911 by N. Morbitzer and J. Vas, members of the group around Lechner. In the WS you will find a photo with closer look on ceramic decoration of the main facade.

Ciao caro Laszlo,
bella immagine tra la cornice naturale della vegetazione. La foto ci mostra una piacevole architettura, anche se relativamente moderna, come ci fai vedere da vicino nel WS. Sempre interessanti le tue note a completamento di un bel lavoro.
Ciao, buona nottata!
Paolo

Szia!

Úgy látszik egyszer már el kéne mennem Kiskunfélegyházára, akad ott néhány fotótéma:)

Maga az épület csodálatos. A szecesszió amúgy is az egyik gyengém, ez pedig egy különösen szép példája. Tetszik ahogy a benyúló faágakkal keretezted a képet, mélységet ad neki.

Üdv
Csabee

Guten Abend László!
Das ist ja mal eine interessante - und ungewöhnliche - Architektur! Das WS-Foto zeigt, wie aufwändig und außergewöhnlich diese Verzierungen sind. Abgesehen von allen geschichtlichen und künstlerischen Aspekten, ist dieses Bauwerk "einfach" nur schön. Wenn man dagegen die heutigen Zweckbauten - und solche sind ja meistens auch Rathäuser - sieht, fehlen einem fast die Worte. Zusammen mit Deinem fachkundigen Kommentar ein sehens- und lesenswerter TE-Beitrag!
Ich würde aber schon gerne wissen, wie diese Farben bei Sonnenschein aussehen ... aber das kann man sich nun einmal nicht aussuchen.
Alles Gute aus dem recht nassen Siegen - und eine schöne Woche!
Frank

Hello Laszlo,

A highly informative note complements this photo, the art nouveau edifice nicely framed by the hanging branches and the evergreen trees.

Warm regards, and have a good week.

Good morning Laszlo,
nice the presentation of this art Nouveau church with its spectacular bell tower to outlined against the sky.The leafs on the upper part of the frame as the trees on the ground, surround the bell tower and makes the scene more interesting.Well done.

Have a nice weekend,Danos

Hi Laszlo,

What a great picture I do not remember that I have seen many pictures of churches in Jugend style before. I must say that the Hungarian variant is a bit different. If this is a good example of this. I guess you have more typical Jugend style buildings as well. I would have loved to see some close ups of it. Having said that your picture where you see the whole church is great too. TFS and have a nice Sunday!

Kind regards,

Ulf

Laszlo,
This is a fine shot with the trees providing framing and depth for the scene. The soft lighting brings out the colors and details nicely.
TFS.
