  • In 1878, Austro-Hungarian troops occupied Bosnia. Viennese painter Friedrich Alois Schönn, who specialized in geographical views, may have been commissioned to make this painting of the capital Sarajevo in light of that context. He chose to illustrate a lively market scene on the so-called Latin Bridge over the Miljacka River. It allowed him to explore the cultural and religious diversity of the city, which was formerly ruled by the Ottoman Empire. The assassination of the Austro-Hungarian heir to the throne took place at this bridge in July 1914, an event that would usher in World War I and the end of Austria's multi-ethnic state.
