Ferdinand Hodler
Ferdinand Hodler stands among the defining figures of Swiss painting, associated with Symbolism and a rhythmically simplified realism that shaped his portraits, figure compositions and landscapes. The archive holds a single oil on canvas, The Dream of the Shepherd (Der Traum des Hirten), dating from 1896 — the only year represented in this selection. That lone painting offers a concentrated point of entry into Hodler's mature style rather than a survey of his development.
