The mill of Sous Terre in Geneva 1878

Ferdinand Hodler’s 1878 painting, *The Mill of Sous Terre in Geneva*, depicts a picturesque Swiss landscape. The painting shows a view of a mill nestled amidst a cluster of trees on a gently sloping hill. The artist’s signature style, with its strong outlines and simplified forms, is evident in the composition, giving the scene a sense of calmness and tranquility. The muted palette of browns, greens, and blues, with the warm glow of the mill building, creates a harmonious atmosphere. The painting provides an insightful glimpse into the beauty of rural Switzerland, as seen through the eyes of Hodler, a prominent figure in Swiss Symbolist art.
