Raul Wallenberg \u2013 L\u00e1szl\u00f3 Dombrovszky plaque project<\/b><\/h1>\n

May 22, 2015<\/h2>\n

Artists: J\u00e1nos Sug\u00e1r, G\u00e1bor Palotai<\/p>\n

In a civic initiative honoring Raoul Wallenberg and L\u00e1szl\u00f3 Dombrovszky, a commemorative plaque was unveiled on May 22 on the wall of the building at 26 Keleti K\u00e1roly Street. The inscription on the metal plaque (in Hungarian and Swedish) reads: \u201cIn this building, Raoul Wallenberg sat as a model in 1944 for the painter L\u00e1szl\u00f3 Dombrovszky, who created the only authentic portrait of him.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the autumn of 1944, Wallenberg sat as a model several times for L\u00e1szl\u00f3 Dombrovszky, who painted here the only portrait of the Swedish diplomat considered artistically significant. The contrasting \u201cdrawing,\u201d cut by laser from a 70\u00d770 cm stainless steel plate, is the work of sculptor J\u00e1nos Sug\u00e1r, and simultaneously depicts the artist, the model, and the artwork in progress. The typographic design was created by graphic designer G\u00e1bor Palotai, who proposed the Esseltub typeface\u2014originally designed for the Stockholm metro\u2014for the inscription.<\/p>\n

The painting is now kept in Gripsholm, Sweden, in the Swedish Royal Portrait Gallery. The artwork was donated to the collection by Raoul Wallenberg\u2019s mother, Maj von Dardel. The plaque was unveiled by Niclas Trouv\u00e9, Sweden\u2019s Ambassador to Hungary, and Zsolt L\u00e1ng, Mayor of the 2nd District.<\/p>\n
