RE: [Cz-L] Ringplatz 1860 painting

Hardy...

Thank you for posting and here is - thanks to Dragos Olaru from Czernowitz, who brought the photo and the historical context to us - the story behind this impressive drawing:

Bukovina became independent from Galicia establishing a separate Austrian crown land and declared the Duchy of Bukovina on March 4, 1849. But on April 22, 1860 Bukovina again was amalgamated with Galicia under the government of Count Agenor Goluchowski of Goluchowo as Governor of Galicia. A coalition of middle-class intellectuals, irrespective of their ethnicity, opposed vehemently against this re-usurpation. The protest campaign was headed by Eudoxiu Hurmuzachi and his brothers, as well as by Karl Umlauff. They were successfull and Bukovina's status as crown land was restored in 1861. The drawing is illustrating one of the protest demonstrations dated June 20, 1860.

I've updated the Czernowitz Art Gallery by adding this outstanding both artistic and historical exhibit:

Enjoy the posting!
