O díle

The artist’s wife, Berthe Jacques, served as the model for this preliminary study for the Art Institute’s painting Day (Truth). Hodler would often have his models pose behind a wooden frame with a grid of threads stretched across it—a method first described by the artist Albrecht Dürer in the 16th century. This allowed Hodler to accurately check the subject’s proportions and measurements against the drawing, which was also outlined with a grid.

Celý životopis

    Meets Berthe Jacques

    In 1894 Hodler met Berthe Jacques (1868–1957); in 1898 she became his second wife.

  2. 16 May 1896

    Filmed by the Lumière brothers

    On 16 May 1896, the opening day of the National Exhibition in Geneva, Hodler was filmed by the Lumière brothers for a documentary in the “Swiss Village”, where he was showing 26 painted façade panels.

    Frescoes for the Swiss National Museum

    In 1897 Hodler accepted a commission for a series of large frescoes for the Weapons Room of the Swiss National Museum in Zurich. His proposed compositions — including The Battle of Marignano, a battle the Swiss lost — proved controversial, and he was not allowed to execute the frescoes until 1900.

    In 1897 Hodler first made his theory of “parallelism” public, in the manuscript of his lecture La Mission de l'artiste.
