Created: Vienna, 1901 Material, technology: copper engraving, 210 x 155 mm Description: Egyed Karner hired the same graphic artists to make this "profane" commemorative engraving as he did the sacred one. The complicated formal language of baroque allegory is used to express the monastery’s and the country’s glorious past, challenging present, and promising future. The Latin distich written on the two ribbons held by the cherubs is also related to this. A baroque interpretation of the heraldic motifs of the Hungarian coat-of-arms is incorporated into the jubilee allegory. |  |
