Anton Karinger, a landscape and portrait painter, was transferred to Boka Kotorska for three years as a cadet of the famous Carniolan 17th Infantry Regiment.

He generated a significant number of drawings and watercolours and later used them to create oil paintings. We will highlight the chapter of the artist's depiction of Montenegrin life and landscape.
