Description
Miklós Ybl (1814–1891) is hailed as one of the foremost Hungarian architects of the 19th century, renowned for his profound influence on Hungarian architecture and his pivotal contributions to shaping the urban landscape of Budapest.
Inspired by a variety of architectural styles including Romanticism and Historicism, Ybl swiftly gained acclaim for his innovative designs characterized by a seamless integration of historical motifs. His most prominent works include the Hungarian State Opera House, completed in 1884, the iconic St. Stephen's Basilica, finished posthumously in 1905, and the picturesque Castle Garden Bazaar (Várkert Bazár) nestled along the Danube River. These architectural masterpieces exemplify Ybl's meticulous attention to detail and his skillful incorporation of Gothic and Renaissance elements.
