Text description provided by the architects. Ferdinand Hodler painted mountains reflected in Swiss lakes, again and again. He was obsessed with this double-inverted landscape, constantly evolving with the changing sky and the movement created by the wind blowing on the water's surface. In 1867, aged 14, he painted his first lakes and sold them to passing tourists. In 1918, fifty years later, he died in Geneva, leaving behind a few unfinished sketches of Mont-Blanc reflected in Lake Geneva, as seen from his apartment balcony.
