The Rutli Oath - A Symbol of Swiss Unity and Freedom

EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases the iconic illustration of "The Rutli Oath" from Sebastien Munster's Cosmographie Universelle. Published in 1559, this woodcut engraving depicts a pivotal moment in Swiss history - the founding pact of the free peasants known as the Oath of the Three Cantons. Set against a breathtaking mountainous backdrop, we see three men standing on a boat on Lake Lucerne, surrounded by towering alps. These figures represent Walter Furst from Uri, Arnold de Melchtal from Unterwalden, and Werner Stauffacher from Schwyz – united in their determination to defend their freedom against external threats. The image captures the solemnity and significance of this historic event that took place on August 1st, 1291. The oath sworn at Rutli symbolizes Switzerland's commitment to independence and self-governance. It serves as a testament to the resilience and unity of its people even amidst challenging times. Through this powerful visual representation, we are transported back in time to witness an important chapter in Swiss history unfold before our eyes. The intricate details captured by Bridgeman Images bring life to each stroke of Munster's woodcut engraving. This print is not just an artistic masterpiece; it is a reminder of Switzerland's rich heritage and its enduring spirit for freedom.
