The Lake Geneva from Chexbres 1898

Ferdinand Hodler's "The Lake Geneva from Chexbres" (1898) is a landscape painting that showcases the artist's signature style, often referred to as Symbolism. The painting depicts a tranquil scene of Lake Geneva, Switzerland, viewed from a hilltop. The vast, blue expanse of the water is contrasted with the gentle slopes of the hillside, dotted with bare trees. The soft, muted palette of blue, green, and yellow creates a sense of peace and serenity, reflecting the artist's interest in capturing the essence of nature.
