Pál Vágó

Pál Vágó (6 June 1853, Jászapáti - 15 October 1928, Budapest) was a Hungarian painter, known for his historical scenes and cycloramas.

[1] At first, he was heavily influenced by the German Academic style, but later turned to landscapes painted in his native region.

From that point on, he specialized in monumental historical scenes and was a major participant in the various arts shows connected with the Hungarian Millennium celebrations in 1896.

He also provided illustrations for a twenty-one volume set of books called The Austro-Hungarian Monarchy in Word and Picture (commonly known in German as the "Kronprinzenwerk", after its sponsor, Rudolf, Crown Prince of Austria).

[1] Later, he created frescoes in several churches in his hometown and, together with László Pataky, decorated the Ludovica Military Academy.
