Róna's best known wood carving, Joseph and Potiphar's Wife, also won him the Gold Prize.[1]
His major sculptural work was the Monument of Prince Eugene of Savoy in Buda Castle. The equestrian statue is standing on the Danube terrace, in a prominent position, high above Budapest. The Neo-Baroque statue was made for the town of Zenta but the town could not afford its price. The monument was bought in 1900 by the master-builder of the Royal Castle, Alajos Hauszmann as a temporary solution until the planned equestrian statue of King Franz Joseph will be completed. This never happened so Prince Eugen remained on his plinth.
Other works include the statues of Zrinyi in Budapest, Bertalan Szemere, Kossuth in Miskolc and Klapka in Komárom (today Komárno, Slovakia).
