Vörösmarty wrote one of his major poems, „Előszó” (Epilogue) and
seven other epigrammes in 1850-’51 in Baracska, where he withdrew
after the defeat of the 1848 civil uprising and war of independence.
His exile and his poems were overshadowed by the misery and the pain
of the defeat and the casualties of war. The statue was built to
commemorate the 200th anniversary of Vörösmarty’s birth and makes an
effort to translate the contextual and formal structure of the poem
into the language of plastic art. |
