EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th century print depicts a pivotal moment in the legendary tale of William Tell, the Swiss folk hero who defied the tyrannical rule of Graf Gessler. In this scene, Tell, with unyielding determination and incredible agility, leaps from the riverbank and pushes Gessler's boat, carrying the unsuspecting occupants, back into the raging water. The swift current and turbulent waves threaten to capsize the vessel, leading to the unfortunate drowning of those aboard. The legend of William Tell, a symbol of resistance against oppression, originated in medieval Switzerland during the 14th century. The story goes that Tell, a skilled marksman, was forced by Gessler to shoot an apple off his son's head as a sign of loyalty. When Tell successfully completed the task, he vowed to avenge the people of Switzerland by assassinating Gessler. This print captures the moment of Tell's bold retaliation, as he pushes the boat back into the water, bringing about the downfall of his oppressor. The image, filled with tension and drama, is a testament to the enduring power of the human spirit and the courage to stand up against tyranny. The lightning-like flash in the background adds an element of mystique and intrigue, further enhancing the mythological allure of this iconic Swiss hero.
