Devil in the Mirror: The Hidden Code of a Hungarian Masterpiece

In 1902, Hungarian artist Tivadar Károlyi Csontváry painted The Old Fisherman. For decades, it went unnoticed—until a museum staff member held a mirror to its center. Reflect the right half: a serene grandfather by calm seas, almost divine. Reflect the left: jagged waves, smokestacks, a terrifying Devil. Csontváry’s genius reveals the inner battle between good and evil in all. Which side will win?
