Frescoes
The description of the fresco follows from right to left. The first scene depicts two human figures, a man, very poorly preserved, that holds his right arm in a calling position and a girl that holds in her right hand an apple with a cross above. She is looking at the man. This scene suggests the moment when the two of them met. The apple that the girl is having indicates the importance of this character, because the apple is the symbol of the Hungarian kingdom
On the column that separates the first two openings is barely visible a human figure. The second scene shows the same characters. The man is holding in his right hand a ring and the left hand on the heart. The female figure is more mature. She is not looking at the man any more and she is holding her left arm lifted. This is considered to be the moment when the man pledges faith to the woman but she is refusing him. A raven bearing in its beak a band that probably had an inscription on is painted on the second column.
The two characters are represented in the third scene too. The man has both of his arms toward the woman with a gesture of rejection. The woman is now mature – she has her head covered – and pregnant. In her left hand she holds a link with two rings .The two rings are a symbol of the marriage, but the man now refuses it.
On the third column is painted a child that hold in his hand an apple identical to the woman’s in the first scene. The child is pointing to the man. This indicated that the child is the man’s son. It is supposed that the man is king Sigismund of Luxemburg. Above the child’s head was a band and some suggest that on it was written “Johannes”, Ioan of Hundoara’s Latin name.
The last dial represents a boar-hunting scene, with a male character that bears a hunting spear. This character was identified as king Matia Corvin.
