The Three Conspirators Swear an Oath on the Rüthli Meadow
by FUSELI, John Henry, Pen and sepia over pencil drawing, 414 x 345 mm
Fuseli’s Oath of the R�thli shows that he could turn to nonclassical subject matter, but still retain a sense of dramatic classical form. This work is in many ways a prototype for the heroic pictures of the French.
