These sources translated into English by Gabriel Roman discuss two significant artworks housed in the Art Gallery of the Cultural Palace in Arad, Romania. One document focuses on Árpád Feszty's monumental triptych, "The Burial of Christ," detailing its creation, exhibition history, period of concealment due to its religious theme, and its eventual restoration and return to public display in 2022. The other source examines Sándor Liezen-Mayer's large historical painting, "The news of the election of Matthew Corvinus as king is announced by the Hungarian delegation at the Podjebrad court in Prague," placing it within the context of 19th-century Hungarian academic and historical painting and discussing the portrayal and cultural significance of King Matthias Corvinus during that era.
