About the piece

Painted in 1890 by the Swiss master Ferdinand Hodler, this vibrant work captures the natural beauty at the base of Mount Salève near Geneva. Hodler uses a luminous palette of greens and blues to depict the dense reeds and flowing water, showcasing his masterful ability to balance naturalist detail with a rhythmic, atmospheric composition.
