O familie din negura vremii

  • Subiect: A FAMILY UNDER THE DARKNESS OF TIME The text centres upon the cultural heritage of the Sãlaj County Art Museum, placed in Zalãu (Romania), where it took place the discovery of some artistic works that belonged to the private collection of the Austro-Hungarian diplomat Stephen Ugron von Abranfalva, who was one of the most significant art collectors from South-Eastern Europe. During his diplomatic missions, the baron obtained several art masterpieces, which were put in the family thesaurus created at his residence from Zau de Câmpie. According to the 1928 evaluation, the castle owned some Baroque and Academic paintings, lithographies with historical subjects taken from the Hungarian national history and some copies of old masters such as Tintoretto, Titian, Rubens or Francois Boucher. At the end of WWII, the castle was confiscated by the Romanian Communist Regime and its heritage was dispersed through several regions of Romania. In the Museum of Zalãu, one can admire 3 landscapes, 2 lithographies and 17 family portraits which are supposed to be taken from Zau de Câmpie castle. Some of them belonged to Ugron family (there can be identified 5 generations), while others were the property of Janos Banffy, the last owner of the castle, who took them from the Beaux-Arts Museum of Budapest. The paintings were released either by local artists (like Matyas Veress) or by some artistic personalities of international recognition. In this case, it has to be remembered Paja Jovanovic (1859–1957), the national painter of Serbia, who executed in 1913 5 portraits of the Ugron family.
