This tryptych, titled Beauty, Wealth and Intellect, is by Laszlo Toth. The beautiful woman on the left is a prostitute; the young scientist on the right is an anarchist making explosives; and the central image capture the temptation of innocent youth. Up until this time, tryptych's were used for religious art. So this is unusual for a tryptych to convey the social ills of the time.

"Picnic in May" by Pal Szinyei Merse - this is one of the best known and most important work of Hungarian paintings. It conveys warmth and happiness. Believe it or not, the artist received lots of criticism for this painting because some critics considered it modern and "dreadfully prosaic". It lacked poetic beauty. The painting was displayed in an obscure place at the World Exposition in Vienna in 1873. The artist was so upset that he withdrew his work from the Exposition.

This painting is titled "Angel Maker". Unwanted babies were brought to institutions to be "looked after", without proper nourishment or healthy living conditions. The children were soon "lost". This is a radical, taboo subject for this time, even though depicting social problems were common. The dark colors are used to convey the horror of the scene.
