1850–1909 (age 59)

Biography

Gyula Donáth trained in the classical traditions of sculpture, gifting Budapest with figures that balanced grace and strength. He chiseled monuments that reflected the moral ideals of his era and the delicate humanity of his sitters.

The textures of his stonework still command attention at exhibitions and quiet corners of Kozma Street Jewish Cemetery, where admirers remember a sculptor of quiet devotion to civic beauty.
