The ornately carved marble artifacts may be the work of an Early Renaissance master sculptor from what is now Italy.
Archaeologists have uncovered a pair of 'sensational' ornately carved marble artifacts depicting cherubs that are thought to date to the 15th century.The marble pieces were found in Visegrád, a castle town in Hungary. The settlement—located north of the country's capital, Budapest, on the right bank of the Danube River—is known for its medieval citadel and royal palace ruins.
The 'sensational findings' were presented by archaeologist Gergely Buzás, director of the Museum of Matthias Rex in Visegrád, who highlighted the significance of the cherub sculptures saying that no Italian Renaissance art of similar artistic value and preserved in such good condition had ever been discovered in Hungary previously.The Visegrád Renaissance development program, which began in 2021, is in the process of renovating the castle complex and the royal palace.
