"A Lánchíd alapkőletétele, 1864" (The Foundation Stone Ceremony of the Chain Bridge, 1864) is a historical painting by the renowned Hungarian artist Miklós Barabás. The artwork commemorates the ceremonial laying of the foundation stone for the Chain Bridge, which was the first permanent bridge across the Danube in Budapest, connecting the cities of Buda and Pest. The Chain Bridge, known as Széchenyi Lánchíd in Hungarian, became a symbol of advancement, national pride, and the unification of the two cities into one metropolis.

Miklós Barabás (1810–1898) was a prominent figure in 19th-century Hungarian art, known for his portraits and historical paintings. His work often captured significant events and notable figures of his time, contributing to the visual documentation of Hungary's national history. In "A Lánchíd alapkőletétele, 1864," Barabás meticulously depicts the grandeur and solemnity of the event, which would have been attended by important dignitaries and members of the public.

The painting is characterized by its attention to detail and the artist's skill in rendering the atmosphere of the occasion. Barabás's use of color, composition, and light reflects the celebratory mood, while also providing a glimpse into the fashion and societal norms of the era. The Chain Bridge itself, designed by English engineer William Tierney Clark and constructed under the supervision of Scottish engineer Adam Clark, is a feat of engineering and a focal point of national identity, themes that are likely to be explored in Barabás's work.

As a historical record, "A Lánchíd alapkőletétele, 1864" serves as a visual testament to a pivotal moment in Budapest's urban development and the broader narrative of Hungarian progress in the 19th century. The painting not only captures the essence of the time but also stands as a testament to Barabás's artistic legacy and his contribution to Hungarian cultural heritage.
