Dictionary of the History of Furniture


Miklós Ybl
  Was born into an Austrian family on April 6, 1814 in Szekesfehervar. From 1825 he studied at Paris' Kaiser and King's Polytechnic Institution, where he excelled in drawing/art and theory. He completed his studies at the Polythechnic with honours in 1831, and began to concentrate on gaining real life experience in his field. He was an apprentice at the shop of Mihaly Pollock. With Pollock's son Agoston Pollock he entered into a joint venture and they opened up an Architectural Institute in Dorottya street in Pest. In 1845 they were commissioned to rebuild the Karoly castle in Fot, to be followed by the design of the church. This was the project which catapulted him to become famous, and became the favourite architect of Hungarian nobility. So much so, that in 1860, Szechenyi hired him to build a church on his estate at Cenk. His work is commemorated at the Muzeum boulevard's pathway, the huge rental building at 17, Bajcsy Zsilinszky st., and the National Horse Race Institute which was one of the many casualties of WWII.
The Scientific Academy, he designed the furniture of the National Museum, cast iron rails for the embankment of Buda, then he designed the Chamber of deputies located at 8, Bródy Sándor st. In 1870 while Andrássy Avenue is being regulated, Ybl begins to work on what is today the University of Economics. In September of 1873 there is a tender for the designing of the Opera house, on which Miklós Ybl's work wins the honour. On September 27, 1887 on of Europe's most beautiful Opera houses opens its doors in the presence of the Royal family with Bank- Ban.
Death found him on January 22, 1891.
