More about this artwork
Ferdinand Hodler's painting "Lake Geneva with the Savoy Alps" (1907) captures a breathtaking view of natural tranquility and geological splendor. Characteristic of Hodler’s style, the artwork illustrates the majestic beauty of nature with a serene and harmonious palette. The painting is vertically segmented, featuring the expansive calm of Lake Geneva at the forefront set against the grandeur of the Savoy Alps rising in the distance.The mountains are rendered with crisp, clear lines that delineate their rugged contours, and their peaks, touched by light, contrast subtly with softer shadows, highlighting their majestic and rugged forms. Beneath, the lake is portrayed in layers of soothing blues and gentle lilacs, creating a reflective surface that mirrors the quiet skies above and the solemnity of the mountains.An ethereal hint of green at the horizon suggests either the onset of dawn or the lingering end of dusk, adding a whisper of time and atmosphere to the scene.
