The Coronation of Saint Stephen is a 1900 oil by Ignác Roskovics, a Post-Impressionism work, held at Hungarian National Gallery.
This painting shows a coronation scene. A man in a white robe, with a halo around his head, is placing a crown on another man's head. The man being crowned is wearing a blue and gold robe and is kneeling. There are other men in the background, some holding flags or swords. They are all wearing different colored robes. The scene is set in a grand hall with a high ceiling. The colors used are muted, with shades of brown, gold, and blue dominating the palette. The overall mood of the painting is one of solemnity and reverence. If you're interested in seeing more works like this, you might want to check out the Hungarian National Gallery.
