In the life of Ferdinand Hodler
The whole life1908
Meets Valentine Godé-Darel
In 1908 Hodler met Valentine Godé-Darel, who became his mistress, although he continued to live with his second wife.
1908
Banknotes for the Swiss National Bank
In 1908 the Swiss National Bank commissioned two designs for new banknotes from Hodler. Instead of portraits of famous men he chose a woodcutter (for the 50-franc note) and a reaper (for the 100-franc note); the designs were controversial, but both appeared in the 1911 Series Two.
