Lonely Planet review

The Csontváry Museum exhibits the major works of Tivadar Kosztka Csontváry (1853-1919), a unique symbolist painter whose tragic life is sometimes compared with that of Vincent van Gogh, who was born in the same year. Many of Csontváry's oversized canvases are masterpieces, especially Storm on the Great Hortobágy (1903), Solitary Cedar (1907) and Baalbeck (1906), an artistic search for a larger identity through religious and historical themes.
