About the piece

Painted in 1911, this work by Swiss master Ferdinand Hodler depicts Lake Geneva from the vantage point of Chexbres. The composition exemplifies Hodler's theory of 'parallelism,' using rhythmic horizontal bands of light, water, and distant mountains to create a sense of universal order and meditative serenity. The palette is dominated by soft yellows and cool lavenders, reflecting the unique atmospheric light of the region.
