The Betrothal of Mary

Lajos Gulácsy could find no place in the artistic milieu of his time. He had little sympathy with decaying Academicism, but nor could he follow the path taken by his avant-garde contemporaries. Instead, he was drawn to medieval and Renaissance Italy. His early pictures include The Betrothal of Mary, actually painted in Italy in the manner of early quattrocento Florentine art.
