This exhibition introduces the works from Zoltan Lorincz's book, "The parables of Jesus in Hungarian paintings". The earliest painting is Karoly Marko's Christ's march to Emmaus from 1859 (from the Hungarian National Gallery).
Twenty-five out of the exhibited thirty-nine works were made in this century, which is remarkable, because the contemporary artist interprets the text of the Bible not just as an artist but also as a creator. The scale of the exhibited works varies from figurative works to abstract ones, but this is an imprint of the religious, transcendentally enhanced mentality of the contemporary art.
The paintings were lent by the Hungarian National Gallery, the Museum of the Protestant College of Sarospatak and by the artists themselves.
The purpose of this exhibition is to help the visitor gain a better understanding of the parables of Jesus, and to give a brief view of the religious and confessor trend of art in Hungary in the 21st century.
