About the piece

Created around 1890 by Ferdinand Hodler, this work captures the majestic presence of the Petit Salève mountain in Switzerland. The composition masterfully balances the imposing verticality of the stone cliff with the horizontal serenity of the water in the foreground, showcasing Hodler’s distinctive approach to capturing the rhythm and symmetry found in nature.
