Νικόλαος Ιωάννου Ταληδάρος (Miklós Jankovicz) (ca 1750- 1817) and his wood-carver's workshop in Eger
Main Article Content
Abstract
In the wood-carver’s workshop of νικολαος ιωαννου ταληδορος were
prepared the iconostasion of the St. Nicolas Church in Eger, the Holy Trinity
Church in Miskolc, the Assumption of God’s Mother in Budapest and the
St. George Church in Karcag. Three iconostasions were signed with his Christian name and surnames and one with only his initials. We know very little
about the life of Miklós Jankovicz, the wood-carver. There are only a few
archival documents and the inscriptions on his works that indicate some events
of his life. His iconostasions are outstanding works of art. They bear the
marks of the late Baroque style and the style of the Classicism. He was not
only one of the most skilled orthodox wood-carvers in Hungary, but the most
talented builder of iconostasions as well.
