VARGA, LÍVIA: The Reconsideration of the Portrait Reliefs of King Matthias Corvinus (1458-1490), and Queen Beatrix of Aragon (1476-1508)

37. Figure of Hope, funerary monument of Pope Paul II. Grotte Vaticane 38. St. John the Fvangelist. Trogir terms. No mention is made in the documents, however, of the works he made in Hungary.

53 Dalmata's name is not mentioned for the first time here in connection with the reliefs. Although Jolán Balogh rejected this attribution on the basis of "the robust and emotionally charged style of Dalmata, whose works are far from the representative decorativenes" of the Budapest reliefs,

Numerous other attributions are attached to his name. Both of the signed works are monumental figures. There is, in addition, only one three-dimensional portrait bust attributed to him, that of Carlo Zeno in Venice (Museo Correr) which, both in its facial details and its profile view, reflects an unmistakable resemblance to the features of Queen Beatrix as she is repre53 Ludovici Tubcronis, Dalmatáé Abbatis, Commentariorum de rebus suo tempore, nimirum ab anno 1490 usque ad a. 1522 in Pannónia et finitimis regionibus gestis Libri XI ed.
