Rückzug von Marignano. Karton II

Executed in oil paint, the work showcases Hodler's adopted 'parallelism' style, characteristic of his later period within the Symbolist movement. Vibrant, color-coded armor (blue, yellow, red) and dynamic composition convey intense energy and tension.

Created circa 1895, the painting is now held in the permanent collection of Kunsthaus Zürich, Switzerland.

Part of Hodler's shift towards 'parallelism', this work reflects his unique contribution to late 19th-century Symbolism, diverging from more conventional historical or battle scene depictions.

As a representative of Hodler's distinctive style and Symbolist affiliation, Rückzug von Marignano. Karton II contributes to the artist's notable influence on early 20th-century European art movements.
