About the piece

Painted in 1893, this landscape by Ferdinand Hodler illustrates his signature style of Parallelism, where rhythmic repetitions in the scattered river stones and undulating mountains create a sense of natural order. The composition is dominated by a luminous golden sky that casts a soft, ethereal light over the Maggia delta, offering a contemplative and tranquil atmosphere typical of late 19th-century Swiss painting.
