Marko sr. Karoly

Marko Sr. Károly painted scenes of everyday mountain life in 1840s Transylvania. His Drum de munte shows people dancing to a drumbeat in a village square, their colorful clothes standing out against the wooden houses. The work reflects the quiet, folk traditions of the region during a time of change.

See how the drum’s rhythm seems to move through the whole painting, tap Drum de munte next to step inside their celebration.
