About the piece
Painted around 1910, this work by Swiss Symbolist Ferdinand Hodler depicts the legendary figure of Ahasver. The composition is characterized by Hodler's signature style of parallelism and expressive linework, placing the monumental figure within a serene landscape of a lake and distant hills rendered in soft, muted tones.
