h century Among the historical paintings of Mihály Kovács (1818-1892) there is a small picture Sub tuum praesidium with a renaissance atmosphere that can be found in the Art Gallery of István Dobó Castle Museum - falsely titled by succeeding generations as the Hungarian saints before the throne of Virgin Mary. In this painting two image types are combined, the intellectuality of Patrona Hungáriáé appearing in Virgin Mary with Hungarian saints and St. István offering the Crown to Virgin Mary with the almost identical doctrine of Regnum Marianum. It almost fuses the knowledge that Hungarian society knew about national saints, the offering of the Crown by St. István to the Blessed Virgin from the works of art, paintings, statues, illustrations of artists working in Eger. Most works grew from the intellectual court of Count bishop Károly Eszterházy (1762-1799), the essence of which this essay strives to explore: the works of Johan Lucas Kracker, Franz Anton Maulbertsch, Antal Tischler, then János Mihály Hesz, István Braun, as well as the works of Marko Casagrande through the assignment of archbishop János László Pyrker (1827-1847). These works inspired countless provincial altar paintings or ceiling frescoes still full of devotion. The sacred gesture of St. István offering the Crown - the Patrona Hungáriáé and Regnum Marianum spheres of thoughts - can be traced back to the Great legend of István I and the legend of Hartvik. It primarily served the complete representation of the Hungarian Kingdom, later in the baroque period it became effective in the fights against Protestantism within the context of religious disputes. However, an idea of an autonomous, uniform catholic state formed against the Turks, and then against the Habsburgs was also conceived in it. 395
