More about this artwork

"Lake Thun From Breitlauenen" by Ferdinand Hodler is a captivating landscape painting that exudes tranquility and monumental majesty. From a vantage point high above Lake Thun, Hodler displays a panoramic view that stretches across the serene expanse of water surrounded by the majestic Alps. Painted in 1906, this work is a shining example of the artist's transition toward a more abstract and symbolic representation of nature.The composition divides neatly into layers of color and texture that echo the natural strata of the landscape. From lush, green meadows in the foreground to the calm turquoise waters, and finally the distant purple mountains under a soft, expansive yellow sky, every element is rendered with broad, confident brushstrokes that emphasize the overwhelming beauty and scale of the Swiss landscape. Notably, the treatment of light and color creates a vibrant rhythm, evoking the dynamic contrasts and harmonies found in nature.Ferdinand Hodler's skill in blending realism with a more emblematic style invites viewers to both appreciate the natural splendor of the Swiss scenery and reflect on the deeper, timeless qualities of the natural world.

Ferdinand Hodler (March 14, 1853 – May 19, 1918) was one of the best-known Swiss painters of the nineteenth century. His early works were portraits, landscapes, and genre paintings in a realistic style. Later, he adopted a personal form of symbolism which he called "parallelism".
