The painting depicting the prince and his family recalls the ancestral galleries of earlier times. The portrait of the ruling prince is the work of Ádám Mányoki, his court painter, in 1705 (see Fig. 1). Stressing the princely dignity of his subject, this outstanding master of Baroque portraitpainting in Hungary depicts Rákóczi as the master of Transylvania (according to the Latin inscription), in a purple cloak with an ermine border worn over his armour. Two oil paintings, by unknown artists, show, respectively, Ferenc Rákóczi I and Ilona Zrínyi, who was famous for her bravery and for her exceptional beauty.
