The Battle of Murten. Study, 1917
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating oil on canvas painting by Ferdinand Hodler that depicts the historic Battle of Murten in Switzerland. This powerful artwork, found in the Collection of Musée d'art et d'histoire in Genf, transports viewers back to a significant moment in history. Hodler's masterful use of symbolism and fine art techniques brings this battle scene to life. The intense brushstrokes and vibrant colors create a sense of movement and chaos on the canvas, reflecting the ferocity and brutality of war. The artist's attention to detail is evident as he meticulously portrays soldiers engaged in combat, their faces filled with determination or fear. The Battle of Murten was fought between Duke Charles the Bold's Burgundian army and Swiss Confederation forces led by Hans von Hallwyl. It took place on June 22nd, 1476 near Lake Morat (Murten), resulting in a decisive victory for the Swiss Confederates against the larger Burgundian army. This painting serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a historical document, preserving this important event for future generations. As we gaze upon it today, we are reminded not only of the courage displayed by those who fought but also of the human cost and devastation caused by armed conflicts throughout history. "The Battle of Murten. Study, 1917" stands as a testament to Hodler's talent as well as his commitment to capturing pivotal moments from Switzerland's past through his art
