Summary/Abstract: Most of the wall paintings of the fortified church in Dârjiu/Székelyderzs, Szeklerland (Harghita county, Romania) which can be seen today, were painted in 1419. The author of the study aimed at art historical research and iconographic analysis of the scenes of saint bishops, the Archangel St. Michael and the conversion of Saul on the south side of the nave, as a result of which he pointed out that this series was painted by and donated to the church by Master Pál Ungi. The image cycle of the legend of St. Ladislaus, located on the north side of the nave, which was also painted by Pál Ungi and his workshop, was commissioned by Bishop of Transylvania, György Pálóci (1419-1423).
