About the piece

Painted in 1918 by the Swiss master Ferdinand Hodler, this work exemplifies his concept of 'Parallelism,' where horizontal bands of color create a rhythmic, harmonious composition. The ethereal yellow of the pre-dawn sky contrasts beautifully with the quiet blues of the water, offering a serene and timeless view of the Alpine landscape.
