About this artwork
Ferdinand Hodler painted The Woodcutter (Der Holzfäller) in 1910, in oil on canvas. The title points to a figure at work with wood, a subject that sits within genre art, the tradition of everyday labour and daily life. Hodler, the Swiss painter, had moved from realistic portraits, landscapes and genre scenes towards a personal Symbolism, which he called parallelism, and this work dates from that later period. Today it belongs to the Von der Heydt Museum.
On your wall: A painting of a figure at work suits a study, hallway or living room where a strong, human subject is welcome beside natural materials such as wood.
