THE NATIONAL PANTHEON AND ITS VISUAL REPRESENTATION

Keywords: pantheonization; pantheon in Hungary;
Summary/Abstract: My study tries to call attention on the connection of "pantheonization" (that is the lingual and non-lingual rites accompanying the admittance of an author in the national pantheon) and its visual representation which is regulated by the community. The reception of the idea of pantheon in Hungary in the 19th century illustrates the connection between great authors and their cult as great men, the institutional ceremonies dedicated to their memory, the idealization of their portraits.
