Petőfi-szobor, Bronze monument in District V, Hungary.
The Petőfi statue stands 10 meters tall, featuring a bronze figure of the poet on a grey granite pedestal in central Budapest.
The monument, unveiled in October 1882, resulted from collaboration between sculptors Miklós Izsó and Adolf Huszár, with Huszár completing the work after Izsó's death.
The statue depicts Sándor Petőfi reciting the National Song, representing his contributions to Hungarian literature and the 1848 revolution.
Located at Petőfi tér facing Március 15 tér, the statue serves as a central meeting point and orientation landmark in Budapest's District V.
Hungarian violinist Ede Reményi organized concerts across the country to raise funds for the statue's construction during the 1860s.
