“Lake Geneva on the Evening in Chexbres” is an oil-on-canvas artwork created in 1895 by the artist Ferdinand Hodler. Representing the Post-Impressionism movement, this landscape painting measures 100.5 x 130 cm and is currently held in a private collection.
The artwork depicts a serene evening view of Lake Geneva as seen from Chexbres. Dominated by harmonious tones of blue and green, the painting captures the tranquil water surface reflecting the yellowish hues of the evening sky. Bare trees dot the foreground, enhancing the depth and serenity of the scene. The verdant grass on the hillside contrasts gently with the soft blues of the lake, creating a picturesque and calming composition that exemplifies Hodler’s masterful ability to evoke a sense of peaceful wonder through landscape artistry.
