English: 1870's painting by Ferdo Quiquerez The Arrival of the Croats at the sea depicting the five brothers Kluk, Lobel, Muhlo, Kosenc, Hrvat and their two sisters, Tuga and Buga climbing down a clif towards the sea. The painting was inspired by a poem by August Šenoa and a cantata by Ivan pl. Zajc based on the writings of the Byzantine Emperor Constantine Porphyrogenitus about the Croatian people:
"One of their tribes, namely five brothers Klukas, Lobelos, Kosentzes, Muhlo, Hrobatos and their two sisters, Tuga and Buga, separated themselves from them and came together with their people to Dalmatia and found the Avars governing these lands. After they waged wars with eachother for some time, eventually the Croats overpowered and killed some of the Avars forcing the rest into submission." - De Administrando Imperio
