He developed a style he termed 'Parallelism', which involved arranging figures and forms in symmetrical patterns to convey ideas of unity and order. Hodler's work often explores themes of nature, mortality, and national identity. He was also influenced by Art Nouveau. 'The Monk', painted in 1914, depicts a mountain under a blue sky. The mountain's rocky face is covered in snow, with visible glaciers. Hodler uses bold brushstrokes and a simplified colour palette to capture the grandeur of the alpine environment. The composition emphasises the mountain's imposing presence, conveying a sense of scale and permanence. The painting is signed and dated in the lower right corner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/portrait-of-charles-i-of-england-anthony-van-dyck\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003ePortrait of Charles I of England - Anthony van Dyck — Anthony van Dyck\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/after-the-bath-suzanne-valadon\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eAfter the Bath - Suzanne Valadon — Suzanne Valadon\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Ferdinand Hodler","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A4 (21x29.7 cm) \/ -","offer_id":57679158346063,"sku":null,"price":29.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A3 (29.7 x 42  cm) \/ -","offer_id":57679159394639,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A2 (42 x 59.4  cm) \/ -","offer_id":57679159427407,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ B2 (50x70 cm) \/ -","offer_id":57679159460175,"sku":null,"price":69.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ A1 (59.4 x 84.1  cm) \/ -","offer_id":57679159492943,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/The-Monk_Poster_CompositorV1_1778637126429.jpg?v=1778639439","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/products\/the-monk-ferdinand-hodler","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
