This Art Nouveau (Modern) landscape masterpiece, At the foot of the Petit Saleve is made by the famous painter, Ferdinand Hodler using oil on canvas in 1893. The works of Hodler's early maturity consisted of landscapes, figure compositions, and portraits, treated with a vigorous realism. He made a trip to Basel in 1875, where he studied the paintings of Hans Holbein—especially, Dead Christ in the Tomb, which influenced Hodler's many treatments of the theme of death.
