Sculptor. A significant representative of official art at the turn of the century. After leaving the School of Industrial Design, he was a pupil of E. Hellmer at the Vienna Academy, later attended the Academy in Munich where Witmann and Wagmüller were his masters. He was more attracted by French and Belgian masters.

His first remarkable work was "Mary and Magdalene", a marble statue (1884), later he completed "The Martyrs of Arad" (1894), an unfinished statue of Adolf Huszár, which was then followed by a long series of memorials ("Soldier" 1889-93, the equestrian statue of Gyula Andrássy, Millennium Memorial together with six other sculptors and Albert Schikedanz, an architect, 1894-1929, "Queen Elizabeth", 1932, "Statue of István Tisza" together with Antal Orbán in 1934, since then demolished, and "The Statue of Ferenc Deák", Szeged).

He modelled portraits ("Bust of Antal Ligeti" 1887, female portraits and portraits of great personalities ("Franz Josef I", "Ferenc Deák", etc.) and tombs ("József Csukássy" 1893). He was the most significant master of neo-baroque memorials. His art shows great skills, baroque movements, pathos and picturesque portrayals. Thirty of his statues are in the possession of the Hungarian National Gallery.
