EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in the history of Zurich, Switzerland. Rudolf Stossi, the ambitious burgomaster of Zurich, had grand expansionist aims for his city. However, his plan to seize the neighboring canton of Schwyz ultimately led to Switzerland's first civil war.
The image depicts Stussi at Zurich on July 22, 1443, as he strategizes and prepares for the events that would shape the future of his city and country. His determination and drive for expansion are evident in his posture and expression.
As Stossi pushes forward with his plans to annex Schwyz, tensions rise and conflict ensues. The once peaceful region is now divided by opposing forces, with allegiances tested and loyalties questioned.
This historical snapshot serves as a reminder of the consequences of unchecked ambition and territorial disputes. It showcases how one man's vision for growth can lead to devastating consequences for an entire nation.
Through this powerful image, we are transported back in time to witness the beginnings of Switzerland's turbulent past. It serves as a stark reminder that even the most well-intentioned plans can have far-reaching implications on society as a whole.
