The Retreat from Marignano (Variant), ca 1897, by Ferdinand Hodler - A Symbolic Depiction of History
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases a remarkable painting by Ferdinand Hodler, titled "The Retreat from Marignano (Variant)" created around 1897. Housed in the esteemed Kunstmuseum St. Gallen collection, this masterpiece is an embodiment of Swiss history and symbolism. Hodler's oil on canvas composition transports viewers to the Battle of Marignano during the War of the League of Cambrai. The artist skillfully captures the intensity and chaos that ensued during this pivotal moment in time for Switzerland and its people. Intriguingly, Hodler incorporates elements of Swiss mercenaries who fought valiantly for their nation within his artwork. This inclusion highlights their crucial role as defenders of the Old Swiss Confederacy. Through his unique artistic style, Hodler masterfully conveys not only historical accuracy but also profound symbolism. His brushstrokes evoke emotions associated with war while simultaneously emphasizing themes such as bravery, sacrifice, and resilience. As we gaze upon this extraordinary piece at Kunstmuseum St. Gallen, we are transported back in time to witness a significant chapter in Swiss history unfold before our eyes. It serves as a poignant reminder of our collective past and honors those who fought for freedom and independence.
