Benczúr Gyula (1844-1920) - Laszlo's Farewell (1866) -
Magyar Posta (Hungary) Stamp issued 1966
Painting held at the National Gallery of Hungary - Budapest
This stamp probably depicts a farewell by Laszlo Hunyadi, who was a Hungarian statesman in the 15th century, who was beheaded at the young age of 24 years old. He lived through tumultuous times as the son of the leaders in Hungarian Transylvania during this time.
The artist was known for his art that conveyed historical events, and this stamp shows one of these paintings. The painter obtained reasonable success during his lifetime, as he won a number of awards and had reasonable international success.
