About the piece
Created in 1918 by Ferdinand Hodler, this masterwork captures the luminous atmosphere of Lake Geneva in the late afternoon. The painting demonstrates Hodler's signature style of 'parallelism,' using rhythmic horizontal bands of color to evoke a sense of structural harmony between the water, the shoreline, and the majestic alpine horizon.
