About the piece
Painted in 1909, this work by Ferdinand Hodler is a prime example of his 'parallelism'—a theory of symmetry and rhythm in nature. The piece captures Lake Thun in Switzerland, where the still water provides a perfect mirror for the surrounding Alps, resulting in a contemplative composition of ethereal blues and soft light.
