Abstract

Unknown Plans by Ybl in the Bequest of Theophil Hansen in Vienna In Theophil Hansen’s bequest in Vienna, a series consisting of three previously unknown sheets of paper is stored at the Akademie der bildenden Künste Kupferstichkabinett. These are contempo-raneous, partly coloured photographic copies of Miklós Ybl’s drawings of the Palace of Customs in Pest. The drawings are from the early planning stage of the Palace of Customs (mid-June to mid-July 1870), on which the Budapest City Archives’ Ybl Bequest holds very little data. In addition to their documentary value, these sheets are also important because of the precise information they pro vide regarding the various modifications that took place during the planning, including the exact chronology of these modifications. These documents also enable us to tie a perspec- tive view previ ously known from reproductions to this series and thereby date it more precisely. These three copies were made in Budapest and wound up in Vienna presumably because their au- thor asked his Viennese colleague and great authority Theophil Hansen to give an expert opinion on the plans. There are several examples of these kinds of professional connections in Ybl’s oeuvre (see the plans for the Basilica in Budapest).
