Fülöp Beck Ö. - Emese’s Dream (1922)

Emese, the mother of Prince Álmos, was impregnated in her sleep by the totem of the Árpáds, the Turul bird. The story was related by Anonymus, a late twelfth century chronicler. The subject was taken up as Hungary’s national Romanticism emerged, and gained wider currency during the preparations for the millennial celebrations (1896), and in the Horthy era (1920–1944). With the lack of iconographic precedents, the period of historicism made use of the depictions of the somewhat similar story of Leda and the swan, which made the scene unjustifiably sensual: Emese is seen naked, with the beak of the Turul touching her lips. Fülöp Beck Ö. also represented the ancestress of the House of Árpád without clothes, but there is a less intimate relationship between the two figures. The bird at the feet of the female figure is static, not animated, which puts emphasis on the symbolic meaning of the scene. In a sense, the composition is reminiscent of medieval funerary monuments, which often included the heraldic beast (i.e. totem) of the deceased.

József Borsos: The Emir Of Lebanon (1843)

The man in decorative Turkish dress seen in the painting is a young member of the Hungarian aristocracy, Count Edmund Zichy who probably had ordered the painting as a reminder of his journey to the East. In the 19th century, portraits like The Emir of Lebanon, in which the subject is portrayed in costume, in a role unconnected to his daily life, were quite fashionable. The painting reflects 19th-century interests in Eastern culture, a trend known as Orientalism. In 19th-century Europe, the Middle East and Far East were generally perceived as diametrically opposed to the western world, and people’s understanding was built as much on stereotypes, desires, and fears as on any real experiences in the East. One of the most popular stereotypes about the East was the slow pace of life, the absence of any measure of time, in contrast to the accelerated development in the West brought about by industrialization. Paintings such as Borsos’s expressed this idea by showing people from the East musing, relaxing in a comfortable and lavish environment.

Lost Lake

Lake Poopó is, at its peak, the second largest lake in Bolivia. It sits at an elevation of 3700 meters, high in the Andes Mountains. The lake is shallow, less than 5 meters deep, but it covers a wide area and thus hosts a variety of fish that supported local livelihoods.
