Targu Mures: Palace of Culture Stained Glass Windows 2

The most beautiful windows of all, I think, are a four three-part windows, based on folk ballads. They were painted/planned by Sandor Nagy. These are details from the center window of the set narrating the ballad of Kadar Kata (The Two Zion Flower). According to the guide book "This ballad is the tragedy of the forbidden marriage by the feudal-social differences. The lovers find each other in death." These images below are from the window in which the girl is "thrown into the bottomless lake."
