Reocupação do Castelo de Buda em 1686 c1896 pelo pintor húngaro Gyula Benczúr (1844 – 1920), que se especializou em retratos e cenas históricas.
Esta é uma interpretação da reocupação do Castelo de Buda (o complexo do palácio dos reis húngaros em Budapeste) em 1686 por Christian Forças Militares; com Carlos V Duque de Lorena (1643 – 1690) (a cavalo à esquerda) e Eugênio Príncipe de Sabóia (1663 – 1736) (a cavalo à direita); marechal de campo do exército do Sacro Império Romano e da dinastia austríaca dos Habsburgos.
Com as tropas cristãs fazendo prisioneiros de guerra, há incontáveis mortos de guerra espalhados pelo local e os vencedores cantando sua vitória com voz e buzina.

A família de Gyula mudou-se para Kassa quando ele ainda era muito jovem e ele demonstrou desde cedo um talento para o desenho.. He began his studies in 1861 with Hermann Anschutz and Johann Georg Hiltensperger (1806–1890). De 1865 para 1869, he studied with Karl von Piloty.
He achieved international success in 1870 when he won the Hungarian national competition for historical painting with his depiction of King Stephen’s baptism. He then assisted Piloty with the frescoes at the Maximilianeum and the Rathaus in Munich and illustrated books by the great German writer, Friedrich Schiller. King Ludwig II of Bavaria gave him several commissions.
He was named a Professor at the Academy of Fine Arts, Munich, em 1875. Soon after, he built a home in Ambach on Lake Starnberg; designed by his brother Béla. Em 1883, he returned to Hungary, where he continued to be an art teacher. One of his most distinguished pupils was the Swiss-born American painter Adolfo Müller-Ury. Benczúr was later a favorite among the Hungarian upper-class, painting numerous portraits of kings and aristocrats. He also created some religious works; notably altarpieces for St. Stephen’s Basilica and Buda Castle.
He was an honorary member of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. Streets have been named after him in Balassagyarmat, Balatonkenese, Berettyóújfalu, Bonyhád, Budapest, Debrecen, Jászberény, Komló, Pécs, Szabadszállás, Szeged and Košice. His daughters Olga (1875–1962) and Ida (1876–1970) also became well-known artists.
