Deri Museum | Deri Museum, Deri ter 1. This museum offers excellent insights into life on the puszta and among the bourgeois citizens of Debrecen up to the 19th century. In addition, it also has the wonderful Eastern collection including the Japanese items like "See no evil, Say no evil, Hear no evil demons." Mihaly Munkacsy's Christ trilogy of "Christ Before Pilate"(1886), "Christ on Calvary" (1887) and "Ecce Homo"(1897) in the Munkacsy Room (Ecce Homo Room) are, however, the best things to see, especially in connection with James Joyce.
Munkacsy (1844-1900) was a Hungarian painter who was attracting considerable attention in England at Joyce's time. In September 1899, when Joyce enrolled as a regular student at University College, Dublin, he wrote an essay titled "Royal Hibernian Academy 'Ecce Homo'": "The face of Christ is a superb study of endurance, passion, I use the word in its proper sense, and dauntless will... It is Christ, as the Man of Sorrows, his raiment red as of them that tread in the winepress. It is literally Behold the Man" (Critical Writings 36-37). |
