Giulia Leonardi

Giulia Leonardi was an Italian singer and guitarist who performed in a cafe in Geneva where she met Hodler. Hodler was so fascinated by her that he dedicated several paintings to her, including this one (which can be found in several versions). The painting is from 1910.

Ferdinand Hodler (1853-1918). A native of Bern, Hodler originally painted portraits, landscapes and genre pictures, gradually developing his own style, which he called parallelism (it is included in symbolic painting directions). His style combined symbolism and art nouveau. He placed emphasis on symmetry and the rhythm of the painting, which, he believed, are the foundation of human civilization. His last works tend towards expressionism, with bold colours, sharp and simplistic lines.
