I am sat at home in Switzerland looking out of the window at a scene which strikingly resembles this Hodler landscape, including the mountain peak in the distant background, framed my green forested hills and pastures in the mid ground. When faced with such awe inspiring natural beauty, I can understand why an artist would return to the subject throughout their career.

I love learning about lesser known artists. Thanks for a great video.

What a stunning picture. The close-ups were especially fascinating in how they revealed a looseness in execution that I had not expected from seeing the full painting from far.

Lovely presentation presenting this absolutely beautiful picture of the Alps in greens……so appreciated how You shared the room with two other beloved artists’ work in the room…….so educational for all ages which is my plug for more art in our children’s school……

I really appreciate you guys putting this on KZread.

Ah! Love this guy. He presents real well

Lovely!

Lovely, beautiful colors!

Compelling and interesting composition. Very effective; beautiful.

Its quite beautiful. I greatly appreciate his lovely work.

Love Hodler...incredible take.

The picture epitomises why I return to the Alps at every opportunity.

The green/yellow is so bright it almost looks like a cartoon. Yet there is so much detail in the trees and the other mountains it feels so real. I can understand this would be eye-catching to see IRL.

Thanks for this, is really interesting 😊

Beautiful work. Really enjoyed hearing about it and this lesser known artist.

First time hearing of and seeing this artist's work. Can't wait to see more. I very much enjoyed learning about him.

Master of mixing colors to make them all sing!

Thsnk tou!

As striking as Hodler's painting is, my eye was continually being drawn to the painting to the right of Hodler's. It's stunning! Can you tell me who the artist is/was?

That is 'Lake Keitele' by Akseli Gallen-Kallela: www.nationalgallery.org.uk/paintings/akseli-gallen-kallela-lake-keitele

Many artists I appreciate, but don't really like. This one - i could easily hang in my living room.

Lovely educational videos. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge!

I find it interesting to see the very different frames of the Hodler vs Cezaane picture. I love the simple lines of the Hodler framing. To me, it lets the picture be at thè center of attention ❤

` Very interesting. Thanks a lot.

So when are we going to have a show of Swiss 19th century paintings? Hodler’s all very well, but many of his predecessors produced stunning work that, in some cases, leaves Hodler standing.

Which painting? Because I've never seen or heard of this painting before 😅

Genuine, pure kitsch. Send it to Buckingham Palace.

I see a little smiley face in the bottom left, which you will now never un-see... sorry

I'm not sure - reminds me of a tourist poster from the 1930's. Maybe it will 'grow' on me
