"The Oath of Omladina under the Slavic Linden Tree is the eighteenth of twenty paintings from the Slav Epic and by this stage the artist is closing on the present day.

Having initially started way back in the 6th to 8th century with the first installment, Slavs in their Original Homeland, Mucha would work his way through a collection of significant battles and cultural events in order to explain the key moments in the lives of the Slavic population. He would now discuss a youth organisation known as Omladina who appeared in the 1890's, which was actually about when Mucha first came up with the idea of the Slav Epic project. This organisation would promote nationalist ideas and urged a revival of Czech values but they were later arrested and imprisoned after a short trial. The members of this group are captured within this painting, swearing allegiance to goddess Slavia in a patriotic gesture which allows them to join the group officially.
