Lake Geneva on the evening in Chexbres 1895

Ferdinand Hodler's "Lake Geneva on the evening in Chexbres" (1895) captures a serene landscape scene. The artwork depicts a sweeping view of Lake Geneva with distant mountains in the background, and a foreground of a grassy hill with bare trees. The artist's characteristic use of color, particularly the blue hues of the lake and sky, creates a sense of calm and tranquility, while the gentle curves of the landscape reinforce the harmonious nature of the scene. This painting is a prime example of Hodler's commitment to capturing the beauty of his native Switzerland, and its symbolism of peace and natural order.
