Chestnut Alley at Biberist

Date: 1898

The painting depicts a picturesque landscape in the middle of autumn with scattered trees whose leaves are various shades of yellow, orange and red. Some trees still have many leaves while others are almost bare. The gently undulating landscape in the background suggests an open field with several rooftops of houses on the horizon. The blue and cloudy sky completes the atmosphere of a cool but calm autumn day.

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.
