A „szerencsétlen művész”. Néhány szempont Bodor Péter munkásságának értékeléséhez
An “Unlucky Artist”: Aspects for the Evaluation of Péter Bodor’s Oeuvre

Summary/Abstract: The study discusses Péter Bodor’s oeuvre , a brilliant and versatile master, who lived in the first half of the 19th century and was imprisoned multiple times. It summarizes the bu il ding process of his singing fountain in Târgu Mureş and presents the creations of Bodor, realized at various baronial courts throughout Transylvania, as well as his house and garden in Târgu Mureş. Based on an inventory, the author illustrates that Bodor had theoretical interests in the field of technological sciences, while also presenting his expertise in hydraulics, mechanics, land survey connected to bu il ding organs and musical structures. The study emphasizes that Bodor’s knowledge had evolved in interaction with the scientific knowledge of modern Europe, so that it can hardly be interpreted as a manifestation of an indigenous natural talent.
