The 19th century in Hungary was marked by unprecedented social, economic, and cultural transformations, particularly following the Austro-Hungarian Compromise of 1867, which established Hungary as an equal partner in the dual monarchy. This era saw a flourishing of architecture and art, blending Central European tastes with influences from Germany, France, and England. Efforts were made to develop a distinctly Hungarian art form, incorporating elements from folk art and drawing inspiration from both real and fictional historical precedents.
