"Guillaume Tell" is a notable painting by the British artist Sir George Hayter, renowned for his historical and portrait works during the 19th century. Hayter, who was born in 1792 and died in 1871, was an influential figure in the art world, holding the prestigious position of Principal Painter in Ordinary to Queen Victoria. His oeuvre includes a wide range of subjects, from grand historical scenes to intimate portraits of the British aristocracy.

The painting "Guillaume Tell" depicts the legendary Swiss folk hero William Tell, a symbol of resistance and independence. William Tell is famously known for his defiance against the Austrian Habsburg rule in the early 14th century, particularly the dramatic episode where he was forced to shoot an apple off his son's head with a crossbow. This act of bravery and precision has been immortalized in various forms of art, literature, and music, most notably in Friedrich Schiller's play "William Tell" and Gioachino Rossini's opera of the same name.

Hayter's interpretation of the William Tell legend captures the tension and heroism of the moment, showcasing his skill in rendering dramatic scenes with emotional depth. The painting is characterized by its meticulous attention to detail, dynamic composition, and the use of light and shadow to enhance the narrative intensity. Hayter's ability to convey the psychological complexity of his subjects is evident in the expressions and postures of the figures, making "Guillaume Tell" a compelling visual representation of this enduring myth.

The artwork reflects Hayter's mastery in combining historical accuracy with artistic imagination, contributing to his reputation as one of the leading painters of his time. "Guillaume Tell" remains an important piece in the study of 19th-century British art, illustrating the period's fascination with historical and nationalistic themes.
