Alfr\u00e9d Haj\u00f3s<\/strong> was born on 1 February 1878.<\/h3>\n

At the age of 18 Haj\u00f3s won two gold medals at the 1896 Olympic Games in Athens as a swimmer, later he became the member of Hungary\u2019s national champion football team in three consecutive years (1901, 1902 and 1903), the team\u2019s coach in 1906, but also worked as a football referee between 1897 and 1904. In the meantime, he was studying architecture at Budapest University of Technology and Economics (in short, BME). Inspired by Art Nouveau, Eclecticism, and modern styles, he specialized in sports facilities and designed several sports grounds, schools, and swimming stadiums with the most well-known being the Alfr\u00e9d Haj\u00f3s National Swimming Stadium in Margitsziget.<\/p>\n

M\u00f3r J\u00f3kai<\/strong> was born on 18 February 1825.<\/h3>\n

Also known as \u201cthe great Hungarian storyteller,\u201d M\u00f3ric J\u00f3kay, later changed to M\u00f3r J\u00f3kai, is one of the most prominent figures of 19th<\/sup> century\u2019s Hungarian literature. He belonged to the literary revolutionists of the Hungarian Revolution of 1848, a group called M\u00e1rciusi ifjak that roughly translates to the Young People of March in English. They took the lead in the events of 15 March 1848: they gathered at the Pilvax Caf\u00e9 House, wrote the proclamation for their 12 demands and went from university to university. Followed by a growing crowd, S\u00e1ndor Pet\u0151fi read the National Song (a poem written by Pet\u0151fi) out loud and J\u00f3kai cited the proclamation. The Young People of March are thought to have inspired the revolution.
\nAs a novelist, J\u00f3kai is famous for his unique style that merges the features of both realism and romanticism. His huge oeuvre includes grandiose novels such as The Man with the Golden Touch (1872) and The Baron\u2019s Sons (1869).<\/p>\n

Mih\u00e1ly Munk\u00e1csy<\/strong> was born on 20 February 1844.<\/h3>\n

One of the most prominent representatives of 19th<\/sup> century Hungarian painting is Transcarpathia-born Mih\u00e1ly Munk\u00e1csy. The influence of his patriotism, love relationships and religious affiliation was significant on many of his artworks. Being familiar with the city and village life of Hungarian society, his genre paintings embody ordinary village people of his time: in fact, the painting that made him famous worldwide captures a typical condemned cell of 1870, hence the title \u201cCondemned Cell I\u201d. If you only check one Hungarian painting in your life, it should be Condemned Cell I. by Mih\u00e1ly Munk\u00e1csy. Head to Hungarian National Gallery to do so! The most acknowledged award in applied arts, the Mih\u00e1ly Munk\u00e1csy Prize also pays tribute to the painter\u2019s art oeuvre.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Mari J\u00e1szai<\/strong> was born on 24 February 1850.<\/h3>\n

One of the greatest Hungarian actresses, Mari J\u00e1szai was a natural tragedienne, known for her powerful performances and passionate character. Before she took up acting as a career, she was a chorus singer in Sz\u00e9kesfeh\u00e9rv\u00e1r. She joined the National Theatre of Hungary in 1872, where she was soon given leading roles, such as \u00c9va in Imre Mad\u00e1ch\u2019s The Tragedy of Man, Lady Macbeth in Shakespeare\u2019s Macbeth, the title role in Sophocles\u2019 Antigone and Electra. She also appeared in two Hungarian silent films, Viceroy Bank (1914) and The Vagrant (1914). After her resigning from the theatre in 1925, she recited the poems of S\u00e1ndor Pet\u0151fi throughout the country. Her memoir was published posthumously in 1927.<\/p>\n
