The Great Hall of the Archdiocesan Library - Eger Hungary - ECTV

The Great Hall of the Archdiocesan Library of Eger is located in the middle of the southern side of the Lyceum. The chapel of the Lyceum was built in the middle of the northern building, in an analogous position to the library room. Both the Great Hall and the Chapel are two stories high: they stretch from the floor level of the first floor to the roof level of the second floor. Great Hall The fresco on the ceiling of the library depicts the Council of Trent. Bishop Károly Eszterházy entrusted its painting to János Lukács Kracker (Johann Lucas Kracker) in 1777. The artist sent the client a sketch of the planned picture in the same year, but Eszterházy was dissatisfied with the proposed concept: he considered it to be an inaccurate representation of the location and participants of the council. He suggested Kracker try to gather information in Vienna to make the depiction more realistic. The painter took the bishop's advice, and the new concept already won Eszterházy's approval. Art historians analyzing the painting suggest that Kracker not only got to know the event and its participants from descriptions and narratives, but also managed to obtain some contemporary engravings. His own image, for which he studied at length in Vienna the clothing and costumes of the time, could be created more or less following the engraving. Kracker began work with his son-in-law, Joseph Zach, in the spring of 1778, and they completed the monumental work later that year. The work was divided with Kracker painting the 150 figures and Zach painting the background. Thanks to the brilliant perspective, the almost flat ceiling of the room (rising only 90 cm) looks like a dome. Ferenc Kazinczy recorded that when Franz Anton Maulbertsch saw the grandiose work, he declared in rapture that "I don't know that much". The technical feat is acknowledged by everyone, but the assessment of the artistic value of the fresco is no longer so favorable; e.g. the study of Klára Garas[1] According to him, "it lacks soul and feeling." The picture depicts ecclesiastical and secular dignitaries in period clothes and in hierarchical order, "not so much artistic as factual".[1] The central figure of the picture is the Jesuit monk Alfonso Salmerón (1515–1585) speaking above the front door. Likely[2] that the speaker of the order, which had just been formed at that time, came to the main place at the request of Eszterházy, since between 1741 and 1744 the bishop studied at the Jesuit seminary in Nagyszombat. The speaker is presented with two books: the Bible and the Summa Theologica by St. Thomas Aquinas. In front of the platform, as an envoy of the Holy Roman Emperor and the King of Spain, the Marquis de Quisiones (Count of Luna) sits in ceremonial clothes. At the table sits the secretary of the Council, Bishop Angelo Massarelli of Teles. To the left of Salmeron, in the top row, sit the four cardinals who presided over the Council on behalf of the Pope, and below them the ecclesiastical ambassadors of the Great Powers, including György Draskovics, bishop of Pécs, envoy of King Ferdinand I of Hungary. To the right of Salmeron, in the bottom row, sit the lay delegates of the great powers, above them various archbishops and bishops, and then the heads of religious orders. The figures of the participants completely encircle the lower border of the fresco; Their sequence is broken only by a scene in each of the four corners: to the left of the speaker is the veneration of the Holy Virgin and the Saints (Above the virgin holding her child, in a glass coffin, rests a deceased saint holding a palm branch symbolizing salvation; a kneeling beggar prays before the Mother of God, and the man behind her with a spear is none other than John Luke Kracker himself); further left is the service of the sacrament of the sick; ordination to the right of the speaker; Further rightbook censorship. (Works deemed harmful to faith by the committee lie on the ground and are destroyed by lightning breaking through the ceiling, a symbol of God's just judgment. Tiny snakes emerge from harmful books; the figures of Luther and Zwingli appear in the background.) The dome character of the composition is mainly due to the neo-gothic-romantic background painted by József Zach. This is fundamentally different from the copf style of the Lyceum, but corresponds to the Renaissance architecture of the church of Santa Maria Maggiore in Trent, the former site of the Council.
