Alojz Štróbl (1856-1926) was the first Hungarian sculptor to model Emperor Franz Joseph. He created more than 600 sculptures and paintings. One of the most admired is the 12-meter-high sculpture of King Matthew's Well at Buda Castle in Budapest. He was the first in Hungary to create animal sculptures. Their appearance is very faithful, as the model was real or caught animals. This is also evidenced by the statue of the Wounded Wild boar, which is also located in front of the entrance to the Liptov Gallery. Although Štróbl worked mainly at the University of Sculpture in Budapest, where he became director at the age of 31, he was happy to return to Liptov. He surprised his surroundings with eccentric behavior. In his hometown of Kráľova Lehota, he organized processions and hunts for his guests in historical costumes, at Christmas he used to carol around Liptov villages, even in traditional costume - in necks and shirts, he traveled to Rome to copy Michelangelo's statue of Moses.
