More than a thousand years have passed since the Magyars, a young warrior people from Asia, settled in the Danube basin, led by the legendary prince, Arpad. Other extraordinary figures were involved in their history: Stephen I., a saint and the true founder of the state of Hungary, and its first king , Matthias Corvinus (1443-1490), a hero of the resistance against the Turks during their invasion and the sovereign under Whom Hungary arose to a period of great splendor and a passion for Italian Renaissance art. Then, when the country, still under threat from the Ottomans (with vast areas under their dominion from 1440 to the late 1660s) entered the Hapsburg orbit, the quest for independence continued to thrive. Politicians including Lajos Kossuth and poets including Sándor Petofi, set fire to the 19th century with the passion of their patriotic sentiment.
