The artwork titled “A View of Lake Brienz from Bodeli,” created by Ferdinand Hodler, belongs to the Post-Impressionism art movement and portrays a landscape genre. This piece is part of a private collection.
The artwork depicts a serene and picturesque view of Lake Brienz from Bodeli. Dominating the foreground is a large tree with a dense canopy of green foliage, which casts dappled shadows onto the vibrant, grassy terrain below. The lake itself, colored in tranquil shades of turquoise, stretches out towards a range of distant mountains painted in soft, muted tones of blues and purples. The background sky is a clear, expansive blue interspersed with a few scattered, fluffy clouds. The artist employs a harmonious color palette and an expressive technique, encapsulating the essence of the natural landscape with a sense of calm and beauty.
