Kolodko: Ignác Roskovics Statue

A life-size bronze man sits along the Danube Promenade, caught in the quiet act of painting. This is the artist Ignác Roskovics, captured by sculptor Mihály Kolodko in two thousand fourteen. Roskovics, a nineteenth-century painter known for his religious frescoes and historical portraits, is depicted here as if he has just paused his work to study the view across the water. His canvas is turned toward the Buda side of the city, suggesting that he is sketching the very landmarks rising above the riverbank.
