The Oath of Omladina under the Slavic Linden Tree by Alphonse Mucha - discover more in our gallery of famous Alphonse Mucha paintings.
"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.
Slavia herself sits in the top of the composition within a tree which symbolises health and strength. The prospective members of the group carry out their tasks in order to become accepted into the group. The overall atmosphere is one of happiness and celebration, a far cry from the realities of being imprisoned in the years that followed. The strong tree which reaches out across the full width of the artwork will remind many of the symbolic value of the Tree of Life which appears in many different religious scriptures and was also famously the inspiration for a memorable artwork by Austrian painter, Gustav Klimt. There is certainly a joyous atmosphere which is deeply contrasted with other parts of the series, such as battle scenes and depictions of key figures approaching death."
"Geralt entendit derrière lui un léger bruissement. Il se retourna.
Elle était pieds nus, vêtue d’une simple robe de lin. De longs cheveux clairs retombaient librement sur ses épaules. Une couronne tressée de pâquerettes lui ornait le front.
-Salut à toi, dit-il.
Sans répondre, elle posa sur lui des yeux bleus et froids.
Geralt remarqua qu'elle n'était pas bronzée. C'était étrange, car la peau des jeunes filles de la campagne, brûlées par le soleil, était ordinairement mate à la fin de l'été. Son visage et ses épaules dévêtues étaient de teinte légèrement dorée.
-Tu as apporté des fleurs ?
Elle sourit en baissant les paupières. Il sentit un froid s’installer. Elle le dépassait sans dire un mot et s’agenouilla au pied du menhir en touchant la pierre de la main.
-Je n’apporté pas de fleurs, dit-elle en relevant la tête. Celles qu'on a déposées le sont pour moi.
Il l’observa attentivement. Elle s’agenouilla en masquant de son corps le dernier nom gravé dans la pierre du menhir. La jeune fille émettait une lueur claire sur le fond du rocher sombre.
-Qui es-tu ? Demanda-t-il lentement."
