About the piece

Painted in 1911 by Swiss master Ferdinand Hodler, this landscape captures the monumental presence of the Grindelwald Glacier. Using his signature 'Parallelism' approach, Hodler emphasizes the rhythmic patterns found in nature, contrasting the earthy, heavy textures of the alpine rocks against the luminous, icy blues of the melting glacier.
