Sažetak
The paper represents a comparison of visual depictions of Bosnian medieval rulers in the history of art, and emotional responses to the history of the medieval Bosnian kingdom in traditional and contemporary narratives. One of the reliefs on the chest of St. Simon in Zadar (1380) depicts the death of the Bosnian Ban Stjepan II Kotromanić (1314-1353). The chest was commissioned by Queen Elizabeth II Kotromanić, the daughter of Ban Stjepan II and the wife of King Louis I of Anjou. In the painting Christ and the Donor (1460), which originates from the collection of the Franciscan monastery in Kraljeva Sutjeska, and is today kept in the HAZU Gallery in Zagreb, the Bosnian king Stjepan Tomaš is traditionally recognized as a donor kneeling next to Christ. The male skeleton exhibited in the Museum of the Franciscan Monastery in Jajce is believed to represent the remains of Stjepan Tomašević, the last Bosnian king. The death of Stjepan Tomašević is a symbol of the collapse of the medieval Bosnian kingdom, and his remains on display in the Museum attract a large number of visitors. A special emotion in folklore is related to the "last Bosnian queen" Katarina Kotromanić. After the fall of the Bosnian kingdom, she sought refuge in Dubrovnik and then in Rome, where she died and where her grave is. The black scarf is part of the women's folk costume in Kraljeva Sutjeska, and women still claim to wear the black scarf as a sign of mourning for their queen.
