"William Tell's Son" is a painting by the British Pre-Raphaelite artist Ford Madox Brown, completed in 1852. The artwork is inspired by the legendary Swiss folk hero William Tell, who was forced to shoot an apple off his son's head as a test of his archery skills to gain their freedom from the tyrannical Austrian authorities. Brown's painting captures the dramatic moment before the shot, focusing on the emotional tension and the relationship between the father and son.

The painting is notable for its meticulous attention to detail and vibrant color palette, characteristics of the Pre-Raphaelite movement, which sought to reject the academic standards of the time and return to the detail, intense colors, and complex compositions of Quattrocento Italian art. Ford Madox Brown, although not an official member of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, shared many of the ideals and stylistic preferences of the group.

In "William Tell's Son," Brown's composition emphasizes the psychological drama and the high stakes of the moment. The son, depicted with a calm and trusting demeanor, stands with the apple balanced on his head, while William Tell is shown in a state of intense concentration. The surrounding landscape and bystanders are rendered with a high level of detail, adding to the narrative and historical context of the scene.

The painting is part of Ford Madox Brown's exploration of historical and moral themes, often depicting moments of heroism, sacrifice, and emotional depth. "William Tell's Son" reflects the artist's interest in portraying human resilience and the bonds of family under duress. The work is held in a private collection and has been exhibited in various art galleries, contributing to the understanding of Ford Madox Brown's contribution to the Pre-Raphaelite movement and 19th-century British art.
