About the piece
Painted in 1911, this work captures the Mönch mountain in the Bernese Alps. Ferdinand Hodler employs his signature theory of 'Parallelism' to arrange the clouds and mountain slopes into a symmetrical, rhythmic composition that emphasizes the spiritual order and repeating patterns found in the natural world.
