Hunyadi family
The influence of Viennese Biedermeier portrait and life painting, which preserves the values of the family-centered civic mentality, on family portraits ("The Weber Family", 1846, Budapest Gallery; "composer Mihály Mosonyi and his wife", Hungarian National Gallery) and on his life paintings ("The Children's Room", 1840). In most of his historical compositions he worked on events related to the Hunyadi family ("death of John Hunyadi", 1844; "invasion of King Matthias to Buda", 1853, Hungarian National Museum). The painting depicting the gallant adventure of ("King Matthias and the beautiful shepherdess in Buda", 1845, private property) is an outstanding domestic work of the historical genre painting. His "Hungaria", painted in the early 1840s, symbolized the self-consciousness of a glorious past and the hope of a prosperous, peaceful future. In the 1860s, he made lithographs ("Béla's answer between crown and sword", 1862) presenting the history of the Huns, the Árpád dynasty and the Hunyadi family for the journal “Az Ország tükre”.
