Lake Geneva with Mont Blanc at dawn 1918

Ferdinand Hodler's "Lake Geneva with Mont Blanc at dawn" is a landscape painting depicting a tranquil scene of the Swiss lake and the majestic Mont Blanc mountain range at sunrise. The artist, known for his distinctive "parallelism" style, utilizes subtle, harmonious lines and muted colors to create a sense of calm and stillness. The work, painted in 1918, shortly before Hodler's death, exhibits a serene beauty and evokes a sense of peaceful contemplation. The painting's minimalist approach, with its focus on the horizon line and atmospheric light, is characteristic of Hodler's late work.
