Located at the Romanian western border, Nagyvárad (to be changed to Oradea after the Treaty of Trianon) had been part of the Hungarian Kingdom, and was, until the Treaty of Trianon in 1921, part of the Central European Austro-Hungarian Empire and, thus, was influenced by the artistic currents of this space.
The battle of Nagyvárad in 1664 occurred when an army of Hungarians and Germans led by László Rákóczy attacked Nagyvárad in order to capture it; however, despite gaining entry, they were later repelled from the city by the Ottoman garrison.
