# The Great People's Assembly of 1918, painted by Anastas Bocarić

A history painting of a packed assembly hall. A speaker stands at a long table on a raised platform with a seated presidium behind him, the floor below is filled with men in dark suits, and two tiers of galleries are crowded with spectators, with clergy, political representatives and flag bearers in the foreground. The scene is the Great People's Assembly of the Serbs, Bunjevci and other Slavs of Banat, Bačka and Baranja, held in the Grand Hotel Mayer in Novi Sad on 25 November 1918. Anastas Bocarić painted it in 1922 and 1923, four years after the event, gathering photographs of the participants and arranging portrait sittings so that individual delegates could be recognised. It was first shown publicly at Subotica in 1925.
