About the piece
Created in 1913 by Swiss master Ferdinand Hodler, 'Das Lied aus der Ferne' (The Song from Afar) exemplifies the artist's signature style of Parallelism. The work features a lone female figure in a luminous blue gown, her rhythmic pose and the pale, decorative background creating a sense of monumental harmony and spiritual expression.
