About the piece

Painted in 1905, Ferdinand Hodler captures the calm expanse of Lake Geneva from the vantage point of Chexbres. This work exemplifies his 'Parallelism' style, using the rhythmic repetition of the large clouds and the horizontal bands of water and shore to create a sense of cosmic order and tranquility.
