About the piece
In this 1885 work, Ferdinand Hodler explores the rhythmic verticality of a beech forest near the end of the year. The slender trunks create a sophisticated pattern against a pale sky, demonstrating Hodler's 'Parallelism'—a theory of natural order and repetition. The muted palette of warm earth tones and soft blues makes it a versatile and calming addition to any interior.
