About the piece

Painted in 1895, this landscape by Ferdinand Hodler captures the tranquil beauty of Lake Geneva from the vantage point of Chexbres. The work is a masterclass in Hodler’s theory of Parallelism, using rhythmic horizontal bands of sky, water, and earth to create a profound sense of universal order and stillness.
