Reproduction Ferdinand Hodler - Andey Peak

Ferdinand Hodler (1853-1918)
Andey Peak, Arve Valle in Haute-Savoie, 1909 - Oil on canvas - H. 67.5; W. 90.5 cm

Painted in 1909 and exhibited 1912 in Munich under the title Landscape, this painting by the Swiss artist Ferdinand Hodler is now called Andey Peak, Arve Valle in Haute Savoie. The exact spot could be located by the very precise representation of the mountain peaks. However, although the line of the mountain crests is exact, the rest of the pictorial surface is treated as a highly constructive painting. It leaves no room for anecdote or any animal or human presence.
