KIÁLLÍTÁS - Simon Anna: Esztergom új kőtári kiállítása

In der vierten großen Ausstellungseinheit sind aus den mehr als 1000 mittelalterlichen Grabstein-Fragmenten aus rotem Marmor drei zur Schau gestellt (Nr. 25-27). Im Südteil des Saales wurden zum Großteil die spätgotischen Fragmente des erzbischöflichen Palastes aus dem 15. Jahrhundert ausgestellt (Nr. 28-30). In der fünften Gruppe gibt es auch unter den Renaissance-Steinmetzwerken interessante Neuigkeit: Es konnte ein Detail mit dem Wappen von György Szathmáry von einem Kaminrahmen (Nr. 36) gefunden werden, dass bisher als Ergänzung bekannt war, zu einer abweichenden Datierung verleitete. Die Ausstellung schließt die Zusammenstellung eines Torrahmens aus rotem Marmor, aus dem 16. Jahrhundert (Nr. 40). Der Katalog der Ausstellung ist in Vorbereitung. Anna SIMON: THE NEW LAPIDARY EXHIBITION IN ESZTERGOM (THE PERMANENT EXHIBITION OF THE HUNGARIAN NATIONAL MUSEUM'S ESZTERGOM CASTLE MUSEUM) In the November of 2002 a new lapidary was opened in the Esztergom Castle Museum of the Hungarian National Museum. The lapidary was opened in the lower level of the medieval royal, then archiépiscopal palace's western wing, the so called barracks building. The exhibition was organized by Gergely Búzás, Gergely Tolnay and Béla Horváth from the Hungarian National Museum, the scientific research and the stone carvings' survey was made by Lajos Bozóki, Ágoston Halász, Krisztina Havasi, László Klinger, Pál Lővei, Maxim Mordovin and Balázs Szőke. Forty objects are displayed altogether. Many of them are reconstructed architectural parts containing several carved fragments. The number of the fragments shown this way is around 125. The objects are explained by English and Hungarian inscriptions signing the order with numbers and the whole is supplemented with a short summary of the fortress' history, a map with the medieval buildings of the Castle Hill and the plan of three churches. In the introduction it was stressed by the organizers that the carvings of the lapidary shown here were the most important remains of the period lasting from Romanesque to Renaissance art and the exhibition was showing the results of the work of a recently formed group of young experts. The organization had chronological and stylistic historical points: groups of carvings representing certain stylistic phases originate from different buildings of the Castle Hill and the surrounding medieval ruins. They give a good example of the most characteristic artistic phenomena represented by the objects of the lapidary and a selection of the carvings. Another larger exhibition could show later a more differentiated selection according to the buildings, or parts of buildings. The term "most important remains of the period" applies presumably to the stylistic historical accents ("workshops") and not to the presence of key works; instead of them the organizers tried to display carvings newly identified and never exhibited. An all embracing exhibitions could not be organized this time as the 320 m2 space was not enough for this, not mentioning the
