"Saint Martin and the Beggar (2)" is an evocative and poignant painting created around 1490 by an unidentified Hungarian artist, often referred to as one of the Hungarian Unknown Masters. This artwork is a significant representation of the late Gothic period in Hungary, a time when religious themes dominated the artistic landscape. The painting captures the legendary act of charity by Saint Martin of Tours, a Roman soldier who later became a revered Christian saint. According to the legend, Saint Martin encountered a scantily clad beggar during a harsh winter. Moved by compassion, he cut his military cloak in half and shared it with the beggar, an act that symbolizes selflessness and charity.

The painting is notable for its detailed and expressive depiction of this moment. Saint Martin is typically shown mounted on a horse, clad in his military attire, with a sword in hand, cutting his cloak to share with the beggar. The beggar, often portrayed in a state of destitution, receives the cloak with a gesture of gratitude. The artist's use of color, light, and composition not only highlights the emotional intensity of the scene but also reflects the stylistic elements of the late Gothic period, characterized by intricate details and a heightened sense of realism.

Despite the anonymity of the artist, "Saint Martin and the Beggar (2)" stands as a testament to the rich cultural and artistic heritage of Hungary during the late 15th century. The painting is an important piece within the broader context of European medieval art, illustrating the widespread veneration of Saint Martin and the enduring appeal of his story of compassion and humility. The work continues to be studied and admired for its artistic merit and its ability to convey profound human values through the medium of visual art.
