Austro-ugarska okupacija Bosne i Hercegovine gledana očima hrvatskog slikara: Prijelaz Save kod Broda Ferdinanda Quiquereza. (Bosnian)

The article focuses on the drawings and oleography of Ferdinand Quiquerez titled Crossing the Sava River at Brod (1878/79), a visual metaphor of the Austro-Hungarian occupation (and administration) of Bosnia and Herzegovina. The composition shows the citizens of various religions and confessions in Bosanski Brod, festively awaiting Josip Filipović, commander of the Austro-Hungarian army, in the afternoon hours of July 29, 1878, the day when the occupation began. Even though Quiquerez' s composition has been considered as constructed and untruthful, a figment of his imagination rather than a depiction of the actual event, a report of a correspondent of the official gazette Narodne novine shows that this is not the case. Wishing to eternalize the occupation of Bosnia, Quiquerez did not focus on the warfare between the Austro-Hungarian troops and the Muslim population of Bosnia and Herzegovina, like the illustrators working for the European (especially German and Austrian) magazines of the time. He did not choose as his motive the heroism of Austro-Hungarian soldiers or the cruelty of Bosnian-Herzegovinian rebels, but decided to show how the Austro-Hungarian army, after three years of bloody uprising against the Ottoman Empire, brought peace and concord between the three religious groups living there, and eventually the European, Western civilization. Even though treating the Bosnian people as the Others with regard to the Austro-Hungarian army, and even though stereotyping and exoticizing them, he also showed sympathy for them and emphasized the need of unity. The oleography made after Quiquerez' s work was published by Bothe in Zagreb. Its publication should be seen in the context of military propaganda, which was omnipresent at the time: it celebrated the victories of the Austro-Hungarian army as a rare institution that remained common to the entire monarchy after the Austro-Hungarian Compromise. It also celebrated General Josip Filipović, who came to be considered as a sort of Austro-Hungarian national hero for his successful occupation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

U članku je riječ o crtežima i oleografiji Ferdinanda Quiquereza Prijelaz Save kod Broda, nastalim 1878./1879. godine, koji predstavljaju vizualnu metaforu austro-ugarske okupacije (i uprave) Bosne i Hercegovine. Kompozicija prikazuje kako građani Bosanskog Broda svih vjeroispovijesti svečano dočekuju u popodnevnim satima 29. srpnja 1878., na dan kada je počela okupacija, zapovjednika austro-ugarskih trupa Josipa Filipovića. Iako se pretpostavljalo kako je Quiquerezova kompozicija konstruirani nevjerodostojan prikaz, proizašao iz slikareve mašte, a ne stvarnog događaja, izvještaj dopisnika zagrebačkoga službenog dnevnika Narodnih novina, odaje nam da to ipak nije tako.
