My husband's relatives have a summer house by the famous Lake Balaton in Zamardi, Hungary, where you can find this one sad statue, literally a sad statue.
This statue is called Hungarian Pain and was donated to the village of Zamardi in 1930s. What's sad is not just how the statue is posing, a sad pose thinking of a sad era of the Trianon country - on his boat, in stormy weather, a symbol of sorrow, loneliness, desperate struggles, much like Hungary's fate at that era, but also sad due to its message, the statue was many times vandalized so it was stored away until 1956.
A new message was added to this statue in 1991 that says "To The Top of The Top".
Thanks For Looking!
