Résumé:  

The King Matthias I sculptural group of of Hungary, the work of the sculptor János FADRUSZ from Bratislava, has been the most representative icon of Cluj-Napoca for over a century. But beyond this, the work of art has a whole cluster of meanings, irrespectively of their originating in a programme-like manner or being delegated posteriorly. It represents a historic period and an attitude towards life, it is the symbol of a national concept, the milestone of Cluj becoming a “modern city”, the expression of a political act, Transylvania's worthy contribution to the celebration of the Hungarian Millennium. The powerful expressiveness of the tarnished statue promulgates the power of art and the genius of its creator.
