About the piece
Created in 1907, this painting showcases Ferdinand Hodler’s mastery of 'parallelism'—the use of horizontal symmetry to create a sense of rhythmic order and tranquility. The composition is dominated by the quiet, shimmering surface of Lake Geneva, while the silhouetted peaks of the Savoy Alps provide a striking focal point against a soft, luminous sky.
