About the piece
Painted in 1917, this late landscape by Swiss master Ferdinand Hodler captures the Dents du Midi mountain range from Caux. The work is a prime example of Hodler's 'Parallelism,' a theory of composition that emphasizes symmetry and rhythm to suggest a universal harmony, rendered here in a luminous palette of blue and soft yellow.
