About the piece

Ferdinand Hodler’s 1891 landscape, 'Der Salève im Herbst', masterfully captures the rugged beauty of the Swiss Alps in the warmth of autumn. The composition balances the dynamic, swirling currents of the river in the foreground with the towering, sun-drenched limestone cliffs of Mount Salève in a style that bridges realism and Symbolism.
