Léman and Savoyard Alps - Ferdinand Hodler

Lake Geneva has a special place in the artistic work of Ferdinand Hodler. The leader of the symbolist movement painted more than a hundred pictures of it. These landscapes, which he described as "planetary" at the end of his life, were to become catalysts of modernity for Mondrian and Kandinsky. He often depicts Swiss landscapes in his work, with paintings such as Eiger, Mönch and Jungfrau above the sea of fog and Landscape on Lake Geneva.
