Sažetak
In 1875, on the occasion of Emperor Franz Joseph I’s visit to the Dalmatian coast and its hinterland, triumphal arches and other ceremonial decoration were erected, preserved in some small measure in the photographic album of Nikola Andrović and Josip Marko Goldstein. Even though testimonials about sculptures that would have been implemented into this ceremonial iconography are not reliable, the most important protagonists of modern sculpture in Croatia were familiar with the execution of Emperor’s sculptural portraits and monuments. For example, Ivan Rendić, Ivan Meštrović, Toma Rosandić and Rudolf Valdec all endeavoured to do so. Also, painter Vlaho Bukovac left behind some interesting memories of the Emperor, including his portrait. This presentation will provide information on the aforesaid, as well as the monument to poet Luka Botić (1905, Split), the first public monument by Ivan Meštrović, which the artist used to problematize a highly topical issue in art criticism in Vienna around 1900, that of “ugliness” in art.
