[1] Henrik Weber was as an excellent portrait painter of his time and a significant figure in Hungarian history painting.

Although the young Weber was eager to study, he preferred painting and drawing much more and pondering on his picture books for hours.

His father once noticed this and surprised him with a master of drawing, a local artist named János Tóbiás Kaergling (1780-1845).

During this trip, he spent his time in the company of Carl Rahl, Eugene de Blaas, Louis Mayer, copying the works of the greatest masters like Leonardo da Vinci.

After returning home from Italy, Weber settled permanently in Budapest, where he received orders for many portraits and other works from well-known families and personalities.

In the 1860s, he made several lithographs presenting the history of the Huns, the Árpád dynasty and the Hunyadi family for the journal “Az Ország Tükre”.
