This portrait forms part of our close-up on Andreas Hofer and the insurrection in the Tyrol.
Despite orders from Vienna to surrender, rumour spreads suggesting that Austria is about to re-enter the war. Hofer thus continues his fight, taking to the mountains of his native Passeiertal. A bounty of 1,500 florins is put on his head, and he is eventually betrayed and delivered to the Franco-Bavarian authorities.
