Many South Slavic literary and visual artists were influenced by Kosovo legends, including some highly internationally recognized. The most significant ones who have perpetuated the Kosovo Myth are the poet Petar II Petrović-Njegoš with his epic drama "The Mountain Wreath" (1847) and the sculptor Ivan Meštrović, while one of the main artistic representation is the painting "Kosovo Maiden" (1919) by Uroš Predić. Since its establishment, the myth and its poetic, literary, religious, and philosophical exposition was intertwined with political and ideological agendas. It became a central myth of Serbian nationalism used in the 19th century, and its importance was especially raised since the Congress of Berlin (1878). The myth was significant among other South Slavic nations, primarily in Montenegro and among the advocates of the unification of Yugoslavia. It was evoked at times of major historic events such as the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria, World War I, creation of Yugoslavia, Yugoslav coup d'état, and especially to bolster a Serbian victimization narrative during the rise of Serbian nationalism in 1980s, the breakup of Yugoslavia and Kosovo War.
