The exhibitions in Art Gallery (Kunsthalle) Budapest present the oeuvres of a painter, a sculptor and an architect, respectively. The characters of the artists, namely J\u00e1nos Aquila, Gy\u00f6rgy Zala and Jo\u017ee Ple\u010dnik are separated from each other by historic periods and styles, whilst also are also associated with contemporary Slovenia. Johannes Aquila\u2019s art and character is documented here by Gothic frescoes found in Velem\u00e9r, Turni\u0161\u010de, Martjanci or Radkersburg, as well as by murals gracing the church of the Augustinian religious order in F\u00fcrstenfeld found in 1968. The large-scale historic monuments by Gy\u00f6rgy Zala are found in various sites all over Hungary. The best known of them is in Heroes\u2019 Square, Budapest, but some of his sculptures travelled as far as Vienna: such an example is the grave monument erected in honour of Queen Elizabeth in the Capuchin crypt in Vienna. Works by Jo\u017ee Ple\u010dnik were re-discovered in the 1970s and 80s concerning their significance for the history of architecture. The artist had studied at Otto Wagner\u2019s, and left behind an oeuvre comprising not only Zacherl House on the corner of Brandst\u00e4tte and the Bauernmarkt in Vienna, or the Holy Spirit church in Ottakring which strikes us with its \u201eSecession-infused Neo-Classicist\u201d architecture, and the Church of the Holy Heart in Prague\u2019s Vinohrady district, but also includes the reconstruction project of the Royal Castle of Prague, \u017dale cemetery in Ljubljana, the University Library, bridges of the Ljubljanica as well as St John\u2019s Square.<\/p>\n
