ICMA members are invited to attend an exhibition tour of Master MS and his age at the Museum of Fine Arts in Budapest, with one of the exhibition’s curators Emese Sarkadi Nagy and restorer Éva Galambos. A general introduction to the exhibition will be provided by Zsombor Jékely.
The exhibition showcases one of the most significant yet enigmatic figures of medieval Hungarian art, known as Master MS. At the heart of the monographic exhibition is Master MS’s most famous work: the former high altarpiece of Saint Catherine’s Church in Selmecbánya (now Banská Štiavnica, Slovakia), dated to 1506. The seven surviving panel paintings of this monumental masterpiece of late medieval art have never before been brought together in a single exhibition.
Drinks to follow at 5pm.
