About the piece
Painted around 1898, this work captures Swiss master Ferdinand Hodler's unique vision of Lake Geneva from the heights of Chexbres. The painting employs Hodler's principle of 'parallelism,' where the repeating forms of the trees and mountain ridges create a meditative, harmonious rhythm. With its airy palette of luminous blues and muted greens, this piece offers a restful, sophisticated presence perfect for modern interiors.
