Miklós Jankovich was the most important Hungarian art collector, who accumulated an incredible amount of art, including sculptures, paintings, Gothic altars, books and archives in his houses in Pest. He got his collection partly in Hungary, partly abroad. His repositories form the major part of Hungarian public collections until today. His first collection completely and his second collection partially got into the Hungarian National Museum between 1836 and 1852. The curators Mr. Árpád Mikó (Hungarian National Gallery), Ms Ibolya Gerelyes, Ms Erika Kiss (Hungarian National Museum) summarise the aim of the exhibition. In this issue we publish a selection of the recently identifed rarities from the Jankovich collection.
