About the piece
Created around 1893, this work by Ferdinand Hodler demonstrates the Swiss master's signature style of Parallelism through the rhythmic repetition of color and form. The striking contrast between the monumental purple cliff and the luminous yellow foliage reflects a Symbolist approach to nature, creating a composition that is both grounded and ethereal.
