Statue of Anonymous, Bronze statue in City Park, Budapest, Hungary.
The bronze sculpture represents a seated figure wearing a hooded cloak, holding a quill pen while concealing the face beneath the hood.
Created in 1903 by sculptor Miklós Ligeti, this monument honors the unknown writer of Gesta Hungarorum, a medieval chronicle of Hungarian history.
The statue represents the mysterious author who documented the Hungarian conquest of the Carpathian Basin in the earliest surviving national chronicle.
Located at Olof Palme Street 6 in Budapest's City Park, the statue attracts writers and scholars who touch the quill pen for creative inspiration.
The sculptor deliberately kept the figure's face hidden under the hood, reinforcing the perpetual mystery of the medieval chronicler's identity.
