William Tell

Best shaded painting!!! Best condition!
Switzerland 14th century. The Habsburg bailiff Gessler zu Altdorf, the harsh bailiff of the German Emperor, to whose empire Switzerland still belonged in the 14th century, ordered that a hat on a pole be saluted as a symbol of submission to imperial power. Any Swiss who disobeyed this harassing order would face severe punishment. The proud gamekeeper William Tell refused to salute and forfeited his life. If he manages to hit an apple on his son's head with his crossbow from a distance of 80 paces, he goes free. If he deliberately misses, he is to die. A masterly shot like Tell's is perfectly possible with a crossbow in the hands of a skilled marksman. The accuracy and penetrating power of this dangerous weapon are greater than those of the handguns that emerged in the late Middle Ages.
One of the most famous legends of the Swiss fight for freedom comes to life in our series.
Our series shows the episode of Tell's exchange of words with Gessler. He shows the Landgrave the arrow with which Tell would have killed him if he had missed.
The scene is enlivened by other medieval folk, armed men, hunters, etc. These versatile figures are also suitable for other medieval genre scenes. Supplemented by woods from other manufacturers.
